"...the intentional entry of over 900 FBI background files of political opponents into a far more sophisticated Democratic Party computerized database in the Clinton White House led to yawns from press and television reporters willing to accept the most transparent representations of "an honest mistake." Has a double standard indicative of a broad liberal bias among news outlets gradually crept into place?"

In a word...yes.

"...as ABC¹s John Stossel put it, "If you ask a fish about the water surrounding it, it is likely to reply: 'Water? What water?'" For worried media executives, it might be well worth finding out."

FNC is gaining big numbers, while the ratings of the rest are dropping like a rock. You'd think they would get a clue.

You'd think they would get a clue.

You would, wouldn't you? That is what leads me to believe that they don't care. Their political agenda is more important than ratings, something most will not believe, so that is the beauty of it.
I always hear that the reason they run with certain stories is all about ratings, but I no longer believe that. It is all about the agenda, and the end justifies the means. They make up for the low ratings with nonsense shows like Survivor and such to numb the brains of the "unwashed."
