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.

True, but to put a few conservative radio commentators and columnists and one cable network up against the vast reaches of the New York Times (and 1000 NYT wannabes throughout the country), Rather, Brokaw and Jennings as well as CNN and MSNBC and the many, many liberal TV commentators and colunminsts is absurd.

When the average TV viewer sees Dan Rather claiming that Bill Clinton is an honest man, a lot of those viewers are still unaware that Rather is a liberal of long standing and sees Clinton through that politically liberal filter. On the other hand, no one misunderstands that Rush Limbaugh is a conservative commentator.

The piece doesn't say you can't get another slant on the news, simply that the majority of the news and comment available is slanted liberal and also comes with a profit motive attached.

That's an honest representation of the facts and a few exceptions such as FOX and Rush Limbaugh make the liberal domination of the media even more noticable.

They are talking about TV journalists. They are level-headed; bias drips equally out of both sides of their mouths.

Yes, but the difference with Rush Limbaugh and Free Republic is they HONESTLY state their clear conservative bias. Try asking Dan Blather to state the truth that he is a flaming liberal.
