Here's one countering the "liberal bias". I found it with a Google search for "media bias report" http://www.fair.org/reports/journalist-survey.html

Just asking, but who do you consider liberal media? I consider Fox News on TV to be the biggest conservative bastion on TV. Rush Limbaugh and ALL political talk radio is conservatively biased. Liberal radio has never succeeded. If there were a liberal bias how did a coke snorting drunk driver that spent Vietnam AWOL from the Reserves get elected President?

Anyway I consider a lie that leads our country to war a bit more important than "I did not have sex with that woman" (how many years did that go on?) I've looked, but have not found a total for US military KIAs during the Clinton administration. I'd guess it's considerably lower than just counting Bush's last 6 months.

Finally, if there are no WMD program, no weapons of mass destruction, no ties to 9-11 and no ties to Al-Qaeda were we justified in invading a soverieng nation?
Damn... You liberals have to come up with more original shit other than everyone who IS NOT a liberal repeats everything Rush says.

Regarding the Wilson/Novak thing.... You must be blind if you can't smell a purely manufactured partisan political mudfest a mile away. The players alone should be a tip-off.

Who do I consider liberal media? It's an easier question asking who is not liberal media. All mainstream broadcast news organizations. Political Correctness is the number one rule. Obviously you have never known anyone who worked in a newsroom (that is someone who was not a raging liberal). Among the broadcast networks ABC is the worst. Peter Jennings is the worst. Then comes Dan Rather and CBS. NBC is somewhat, but not as much as the other two. NBC's "The Today Show" is probably one of the most liberal shows on TV. Almost all the morning shows are but "Today" is the absolute worst. BBC news is heavily biased regarding many areas and issues. Their Middle East reporting is the worst and most obviously anti-Israeli and has a heavy portion of anti-Americanism in their reporting on the war on terror.

Radio.... It is what it is. Everyone knows that most talk radio is conservative. No one is getting fooled there. You know what you are getting going in. Talk radio is not news. It's entertainment. When will you liberals learn this?

The public won't listen to "liberal" talk radio. Why? Because they get all the same liberal garbage all the time from the broadcast and print media. The public is starving for other opinions. That is why conservative talk radio is so successful. Liberals will never understand that becuase you don't see liberal bias in the mainstream.

NPR.... basically leftism broadcast on the taxpayers dime. Listen to 10 minutes of that sickening show "All things considered" and you will understand... unless you are of their persuasion.

The NY Times, LA Times and Washington Post lead the pack in print liberalism. They very often border on anti-Americanism too. They are the root of political correctness and liberal issues because most of the broadcast media follow their trail. All other newspapers owned by these parent organizations follow suit.

AP, Reuters and UPI are extremely biased news sources on many issues. The Middle East for one. They also have a very anti-Israeli and basically "multicultural" slant. Both print and broadcast media rely heavily on them as sources of information. It is "pre-slanted" prior to entry into American newsrooms.

All the media above are extremely guilty of political correctness and the greater sin of moral relativism.

You could literally write books about the liberal slant to the mainstream media and many good ones have been written. A good one regarding how racism (newsroom... not public racism) controls much of what you see and hear is William McGowan's "Coloring the News: How Political Correctness Has Corrupted American Journalism" . Another great book is Tammy Bruce's "The New Thought Police: Inside the Left\'s Assault on Free Speech and Free Minds" . She gives many disturbing examples of media manipulation by the left. She is also a liberal (lesbian and former NOW president). If you can put down Al Frankens book, I can recommend some more for you.

As far as sources of liberal bias.... what are you looking for? A CNN poll or something. Any organizations that track liberal bias are accused of being "right wing" propaganda outlets so why would I even try to give you any? I'll give you a popular one that tracks the daily news and TV programs. Try this link but I already know what you will say. There is no sense listing anymore.

You liberals will always say the Iraq war was started on a lie. There really is no arguing with you regarding Iraq. You seem to have some type of mental block regarding Saddam, his atrocities and his connections with terrorist groups. How many more years would you have let Saddam's dictatorship stay in power? As long as the other European socialists were making money off of him it was OK I guess.

Speaking about media bias, a group of Democratic congressman recently returned from Iraq and guess what.... they claimed the media is painting the wrong picture about what is going on over there and what we are doing. No agenda in the media right?

You are damn right we were justified in going into Iraq. Should the government reveal Al Qaeda ties when we are still hunting them down just to appease dirtbag whining liberals. No of course not. Police don't comment on ongoing investigations, why should the government in international affairs. Especially when we are still at war and will be for some time.

You also obviously don't keep up with news either. US intelligence reported in August that Iraq's remaining WMD's are in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon (a country under occupation by the police state Syria).

EDIT: I forgot to mention that Hollywood movies and television shows are loaded with blatant yet subtle forms of liberal social engineering. Sitcoms are the best example of manipulating public opinions on many issues.
