Newsweek's Jonathan Alter, a cancer survivor, admitted on Monday's Imus in the Morning that because of that "personal thing...I don't have a lot of neutrality on it." Indeed, in last week's Newsweek he argued that while "most Americans still don't know" all the "details" about how opponents of federal funding of embryonic stem cell research are distorting the facts, "they're beginning to understand that religious extremists are hijacking the political system and robbing us of our essential national character -- faith in the future."

Summary:In the grand old tradition, he was not biased before he was biased.

Alter comes from a big time Chicago political family and is definitely not Republican. A relation worked for the Daley administration and the family is also a heavy contributor to liberal democratic political causes and candidates.
