Americans want their journalists to show some patriotism, respect the public, increase accuracy and lessen bias, according to a poll from the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press released yesterday.
Seventy percent of the respondents said news organizations should embrace "a decidedly 'pro-American' viewpoint," the poll stated; among conservative Republicans, that figure stood at 85 percent. In comparison, 51 percent said the organizations "stand up for America."

In response, CBS said Americans must obey Dictator/Murderer Castro and get on "his frequency".
CBS News says it will proudly impugn the USA, its military, and America's President daily, as it competes with ABC.

It's refreshing to see a critique of the media by the people they're suppose to be serving.
This poll won't have any effect on the liberal media since they'll just pass it off as an momentary aberration of public sentiment. But, it does explain why Fox News is on top of the pack.

I watched LATE EDITION on CNN yesterday. I
only counted eleven propaganda sentances describing this Africa-Uranium-CIA manufactured affair:
- "dogging President Bush"
- "scandal brewing"
- "did Bush lie to America?"
- "tainted Presidency"
- "ruined African summit"
- "questions of honesty"
- "misled the American people"
- "credibility gap growing"
- "refuses to go away" (this one 3 times)
- "haunting this Administration"
- "calls for investigations"
and that was in the first 10 minutes. Biased reporting? Egads and Forsooth! Nay!
I just shouted at the TV set: "It's all about SEX SEX SEX!"
