In this country, there are so many, particularly the elderly, that still believe that whatever is shown on network news is the gospel truth.

Unfortunately, this all too true. I have yet to convince my anti-Bush daughter that the mainstream is biased. She simply replies, "What...and Fox News isn't biased?"

Too bad that there are so many people who still don't have the option of watching Fox News to at least get some semblance of balanced reporting.

I don't know a good source to point her to but there has to be a concise account of recent events that show where the media has outright lied.

I am not talking about "bending the truth". We know that USA Today, the LA Times, the New York Times, The Boston Globe, and the Daily Mirror have all printed completely fabricated news items. Not "stretched". Outright lies. Written at the home office. Make up the quotes. Make up the names. Make up the facts. Make up the event.

The Globe and the Daily Mirror ran false photos. The LA Times made a photo composite.

These are ALL separate forgeries.

And there is "bias" at FOX? What is this then?
