That goes double for Republicans and Democrats. When 85% + of the news media is liberal, they still have the gall to say that this doesn't affect their reporting.
Those guys are almost as perky as Ms. Couric herself.
Metrosexuals????
Metrosexuals????
I dont think they are metrosexuals. I think they go whole hog.
Looks like those "guys" are eagerly awaiting the Gay Day Parade in San Francisco.
