The online title is "The Double-Standard of the Liberal Media," but I prefer the title in the hardcopy news weekly.

LOL, why all this whining by the right.
The MSM ARE DEMOCRATS, they are political orgs, with political hacks, running a 24/7 political campaign for 30 years, with impunity.
Treat them as who they are, hacks, not "journalists who are biased".

I agree with you that the MSM are Democrats.
The 10% who are Republicans, and the lesser % who are conservative, complain about liberal bias. These minority (conservative) reporters have to deal every day with a press room that denies bias. And liberals I know deny liberal media bias also.
The real reason I posted this was because of the numbers on corruption by party. About 80% of the Ethics violations in the House of Representatives were made by Democrats. That statistic may come in handy the next time someone complains about Republican Party corruption.

One of the primary reasons that conservatives continue to "complain" (with much factual basis) about liberal bias in the MSM is because "their" party - the Republicans - refuse to fight back. Elected Republicans fear the media, frquently because they value their offices more than their principles.

Look at the bright side - in another 10 years MSM will be as common as the typewriter.

when Rep. Roger Griswold of Connecticut attacked Rep. Matthew Lyon of Vermont with a "stout cane," and Lyon responded with a pair of fireplace tongs. ROFL! Those were the days.

Instead of MSM we should call them DPH for Democrat Political Hacks.

The "Mainstream" newsmedia is a propaganda machine for the Democrat Party.
That's why nobody pays any attention to what they say. It's like Pravda under the Soviets.
Nobody believes what it says, and propaganda is boring.
Democrat loyalists probably watch MSM TV and read its publications for entertainment, and most Leftists are very stupid people; they might actually believe the propaganda.

Skeptics can go to the Web site of the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, popularly known as the House ethics committee. Click on "historical documents," and go to a publication called "Historical Summary of Conduct Cases in the House of Representatives." The document was last updated on Nov. 9, 2004,
Does anybody have a link to that baby?
