Liberal thinking may be catching up with the press, according to a survey of 547 journalists released Sunday.

From my file "89% Voted" ( for Clinton ):

But it's really worse than it appears to be on the surface- there is a basic dishonesty underlying all these media types who are 9 out of 10 left-wing, yet routinely claim to be "objective."

I much prefer to deal with people who are openly partisan- at least you know where they are coming from.

Do you think they will demand that their employees carry cheat sheets for how to answer the next poll? Will they steal the poll questions so they can dissect the "right" answer to put on their cheat sheet?

This has to be embarrassing to give conservatives a sack full of ammo.

Aw, us Evil Right-Wingers have known this all along- I'll never forgive or forget the way the first politician dear to my heart- Barry Goldwater- was mistreated by the media Tarts.

They are the Media Wing of the Socialist Movement. Of course they are all going to be 100% Liberal. What's the big deal?

Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger

When the press got accused and convicted of bias, nothing happened! Therefore, they were encouraged.

BTW I've never met a "moderate" that wasn't a liberal....just too embarrassed by the label to admit it.

I think your figure is the more important one.

50% claim to be "moderates" of COURSE - but how did they vote? 90% voting for the democrat is far more telling.
