"Even though we knew you favored the more liberal side of the issue, you covered both perspectives. We appreciated that and respected you for it.

But then came the election of 2000 and the Florida recount, and, from the perspective of people like me, everything changed."

Does this person really think that the mainstream media only became biased after 2000?

I hope not.

It (liberal bias) became more evident, really started full bore with President Reagan (Nixon was just the run up).

Doesn't matter now, with the Internet, and Talk radio their collective ratings (except Fox) and revenues continue to go south. 8^)

Does anyone remember the cute little smart ass piece of sh*t comment Rather made on Letterman before Bush actually took office??

"Yeah, yeah well as I like to call him President "select" Bush"

It's a shame that he pulls that crap because when he went on again after 9/11 and started getting upset and asked "can you go to commercial, Dave" I thought NOTHING other than look at this lying, play it up for the camera, full of sh*t scumbag... Unfortunatley, HE caused me to feel that way!!

When did Rush hit the airwaves? I expected the gov't or the owners of broadcast licenses to give him the boot right then like they did to Stern just now. Indeed after OKC they did muzzle several radio talk personalities, right, GG? Yet now they let the exceedingly biased morning and evening news long formats continue freely.

Groan...the guy's name is "Mike". He's a "man". Why do people like you, supposedly "conservative" and "anti-PC" insist on calling men "persons"?

Gee, that John Wayne character, now there was a real "person"!
