A substantial segment of the liberal media is dedicated to the defeat of George Bush, and will throw any vestigate of journalistic ethics aside in the quest.

We saw that with Dan Rather and the phony papers.

Now ABC's Mark Halperin is advocating onsided criticism of Bush and ignoring mistatements made by Kerry.

Is it any wonder that the media has lost credibility (see recent Gallup Poll).

See why more viewers are going to FOX?

Sad truth: some will still deny the media is liberal

Yeah.  I saw that memo posted on Drudge.  The media is now even beyond making ANY attempt to hide their bias.  That memo was incredible.

Fox will only accelerate their growth after this election cycle.  The biggest loser in 04 besides Kerry?  Without a doubt it's the MSM.

I believe that FOX actually gets more viewers than MSNBC and CNN combined. Instead of ridiculing FOX, perhaps the other liberal alternatives should follow suit and tone down thier partisan rhetoric.

Our only major television news source, the BBC, is one big 24 hour Labour rally.

Our newspapers are a bit better however. There are left wing newspapers(Guardian) and right wing newspapers(Telegraph, Times). In the USA nearly every paper is left wing and tries to pose as non-biased!

Good ponts. But just to be fair conservatives have a good hold on talk radio.

People see FNC as the truthful media. Why do you think Fox dominates cable news.  Hot women and no-spin analysis.

They have also apologized and printed retractions.

Where is the CBS apology and retraction?  Rather still believes the memos may be genuine.

The BBC gets accused of bias from both sides.

As for UK papers and who they're backing and biased towards
Sun- Labour, pro-war
Mirror- Labour, anti-war
News of the World- Conservatives
Express- Conservatives and anti-war
Mail- Conservatives, anti-war
Telegraph- Conservatives, pro-war
Times- Lean Labour, pro-war
Guardian- Labour, anti-war
Independent- possibly Lib Dems, anti-war

Well, they need something to keep their circulation up.

Cann't say they have many readers.
