What a totally foolish and nonsensical statement- If you are capable of discerning bias in something you read then you can intellectually challenge the conclusion and rationale'.

The media doesn't have to pursuade people who read multiple news sources and have an ability to discern truth. All it has to do is pursuade the many voters who follow them exclusively, oblivious to anything else.

How many voters last November thought the "CBS documents" might have some validity? Probably quite a few.
