First, the poster is posting on a web-site so he hasn't dismissed all electronic sources of news. Second, you impugn openly conservative radio talk show hosts. While I can tolerate your cliche braying, these people state clearly their bias. The first lie the modern print media tells us is that they are not biased. Secondly, Mr. Limbaugh, who is the leading indicator in talk radio is audited for accuracy each year by an independent auditing firm. How many newspapers or television news organizations would even submit to an accuracy audit let alone print/broadcast the results of such an audit. Limbaugh's accuracy rating this last year was 93%. No doubt the others you name are not far behind. Whether you agree with their politics or not, they give you the facts. This story is a clear illustration that the "mainstream media" doesn't give you the facts if they don't suit their agenda. Ironically you allude to Goebels who clearly demonstrated that if you tell a big enough lie long and loud enough, eventually people will believe it. This is precicely what this article exposes, not in the conservative talk show circut but in your "useful resource." Our criticisms of the press are based on FACTS such as are presented in this story. You, however ignore this and malign people who point to these stories and suggest that we are "feigning intelligent analysis." This is a snobs way of dodging the truth while calling others stupid. Couch it in magniloquence all you want, but it is still ad-hominem knee-jerk based on your feeling rather than the FACT presented by the article. Furthermore, our criticisms are the REAL contribution. By making these biases known, others are more able to discern the bias and subsequently extract the truth. Ironically, your argument that a complaint of bias indicates an inability to separate the slant from the underlying facts. This statement is on its face an oxymoron. The rationale for posting the complaints is based on the identification of a bias that is found to be inconsistent with the facts. To add to the irony, you yourself fail to identify the fact that repoters are lieing to you because of their bias and you see neither the fact nor the bias.
