The MSM is not biased to the left.

They ARE the left.

When the Founding Fathers granted the press privileges beyond those of everyday citizens

Where?

Where in the Constitution does it define that my personal website or Free Republic is not part of the "press"??

I say we have every right to be the "press" as much as anyone in the MSM.

a more damning charge is now being debated: Are U.S. media outlets actually corrupt?

NOW being debated???

Just because the thought finally penetrated that granite block you call a head it is only now worthy of CONSIDERATION that there are possibly, potentially, arguably, indications that they might be left-wing psychofants (sp?) of the RAT Party?

Begone, O'Reilly!

NBC’s parent, GE, is heavily invested in the “green” industry. Getting Cap-and-Trade passed will mean big money for GE and its investors. Then there's this:

OBAMA OPEN TO NEWSPAPER BAILOUT BILL (9-20-09)

By Michael O'Brien, THE HILL

The president said he is “happy to look at” bills before Congress that would give struggling news organizations tax breaks if they were to restructure as nonprofit businesses.

“I haven't seen detailed proposals yet, but I'll be happy to look at them,” Obama told the editors of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and Toledo Blade in an interview.

Sen. Ben Cardin (D-Md.) has introduced S. 673, the so-called “Newspaper Revitalization Act,” that would give outlets tax deals if they were to restructure as 501(c)(3) corporations. That bill has so far attracted one cosponsor, Cardin's Maryland colleague Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D). . .

Yeah, we’re protected by the First Amendment, even though we don’t work at ABC, CBS, CNN, etc...

privileges beyond those of everyday citizens

I've read it and there's nothing in it that can be construed as granting "the press" privileges beyond the everyday citizen.

As a former print and radio journalist, I didn’t even read beyond the headline before coming to this conclusion, based on evidence after two decades in the media trenches:

“Yes.”

It might have been helpful had BOR come to this conclusion during the campaign for the presidency.

Bill is always focused on his market. This is great. He is pulling ‘moderates’ in the right direction.

Count O’Reilly as amongst the most corrupt. He’s an attack dog on those bringing up valid questions about Obama’s natural-born status, and he actively aids and abets the coverup.
