The most effective strategy I have seen Leftists use is to pose as objective moderates. This way, anyone who criticises them would be dismissed as "extremists."

Free Republic is part of the media. Fox News is part of the media. Rush Limbaugh is part of the media. Larry Elder is part of the media.

In our country - with our technology - you can find any point of view which interests you; Left, Right, up, down, New Age, Biblical, etc.,etc.,etc. That's about as close to objective as human beings can achieve.

Too bad no one told this scribe that "Media" is the plural of "Medium."

It distracts from this piece's veracity [And it is all True!] that its author doesn't seem to know -- or doesn't care [?] that "Media" is a "they" and not an "it."

[Youngblood]

This also applies to Fox News. They advertise themselves as "fair and balanced" (and I'm sure that they believe they are), but come on! There's a whole host of conservative presenters with a token liberal here and there. How many times has Alan Colmes made a good argument? Sean slaughters him on most things. I'm not saying that its not a good service - I watch it regularly and enjoy it - but its a conservative news channel, end of story.

[Political Junkie Too]

The real problem is that today's elite media considers themselves to be neutral observers of history instead of Americans with really powerful jobs.

They forget that if they were anywhere else, they wouldn't get to do the things that they do. Instead, they routinely bite the hand that feeds them. That's why you'll see such media idiocy as having the American media on the beaches of Somalia with floodlights on in order to broadcast the surprise landings of American marines going into Mogadishu.

Journalists first, Americans second.

In the midst of an analysis of poitical bias in the media, the Duke U. Chronicle writes: "politics is so personal and important that it is impossible [...] to objectively analyze a conflict".

[Cicero]

Now, there is definitely not a conspiracy here. The media does not plot to get Democrats elected.

Say what? That's about as unbelievable a statement as I have ever heard.
