Since we are addressing this to the Main Stream Media I think I will add a piece of advice.

You are not helping the Democrats as much as you think. By giving the left a pass on everything, you make it too easy for them. They do not need, as the conservative side does, to hone its argument, or to compromise when needed.

By giving them a pass, the worse in human nature is encouraged (think Ted Kennedy, and ask yourself are you really proud he is a elder statesman in the Democratic Party).

By giving them a pass, when they make a small mistake, they are not forced to back up and rethink their position; they blindly keep going down the wrong road.

By favoring one side of any argument you dilute your own power. We already know where CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, New York Times, Newsweek, and so on stands on any public issue. So when you write something, what ever effect it would have had is lessen since those that agree with you will applaud while those that disagree with you will either never read (or hear it) or if they do will ignore it.

Those of us on the right do not want you on “our side”. We want news minus the agenda. We would like our view presented without the bias that paints us all as racist or Nazis.

I have news for you, FOX news is NOT conservative, they are just so far right of you, you think they are.

You want to win back your audience and readers, try keeping the editorial on the editorial pages, and try going after both sides with equal zeal, and try to remember it is not your jobs to remake society. If you want to remake society, go into politics.

I could say a lot, but I'll just respond to this, as I don't recall calling Fox News 'conservative'. I watch Fox because they are balanced, with their own fair share of liberals and conservatives. I only ask that the MSM share both sides of an argument, and that they do it fairly.
