Amen. Our news media have been so biased [to the left] for so long that most Americans hadn't realized they were biased. You were born unto a bias. Your parents were born unto it. It didn't seem biased to most anyone. It was what it was. You naturally assumed it had ever been thus. Like you once assumed that people had forever done their shitting indoors.
I worked in newspapers for a brief time during and after college. Without question, "straight" news reporters lean left. They enter the world of "journalism" to allow a platform to espouse their ideas, by and large. If you lean right, there's much more incentive to enter the business world, or, gasp, combine media and business with your own empire, a la Beck/Carlson/Limbaugh.
I don't watch Fox News often because I can't stand the sexual deviant O'Reilly, nor do I like the sanctimony of Hannity. For straight news, I like AJAM, BBC, and C-SPAN. But I'm pretty much straight down the libertarian platform. I watch MSNBC and read Salon.com and the social Kinja platforms just to better know my enemy.

I've heard the O'Reilly haters call him a lot of names, but a "sexual deviant" is a new one. Do you have facts to back this up or is this just another ugly name he's called by his distractors? The fact that he gave a million bucks to the Wounder Warrior Program gives me reason to cut him a lot of slack. And this was brought up by a guest on his show, not him bragging about himself.

The libertarian platform has three legs but people seem to only care about one.
