Just part of the landscape. The lamestream media strews landmines, then mocks the conservatives for being so foolish as to step right on them. However, they keep a very intensive sweep of these same mines, posting cryptic warnings to the left as to where not to go (not that the liberal-left is much good at picking up these hints), and rescuing those who do stumble into unfortunate situations.

You would think someone at ABC would eventually catch on that this left wing tripe doesn't sell and that's why Fox is enjoying a ratings boom.

What is their new slogan? The network everyone trusts? Or something like that.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, I'm sure Tom Dashole is deeply saddened that someone has admitted the obvious.

Uh-oh.
What did one of the ABC weasels do that they don't want publicized so badly that they're admitting to targeting Republicans?

Democratic operatives work harder to build the kind of relationships with journalists that pay off at times like these
Journalists have rules to follow:
"if it bleeds, it leads"

"there's nothing more worthless than yesterdays' newspaper"

So journalism is negative towards the people/institutions upon whom/which we-the-people depend. That's because you can't ignore a story headlined, "Is your drinking water safe?"

And journalism hypes today's news exactly as if whatever was exciting about what happened yesterday was the most interesting thing that happened since the Titanic sank. Since that is hardly ever the case, journalism is superficial.

The combination of negativity towards what's important to the country and superficial lack of perspective makes journalism inherently anticonservative. Don't ask why journalists follow liberal politicians, look at the fact that liberalism is simply the easy way of sailing with the propaganda wind of journalism. Journalists and liberal politicians are interchangeable parts.

Well....the headline is somewhat misleading. The network admitted nothing, nor somebody officially acting as a person in charge of the network.

It is only statements by a couple reporters in their little website political column.

It is significant in one way, but also not a major statement.

HATE CRIME

Had this been admitted about blacks, Hispanics, women or gays, this would be FRONT PAGE NEWS.

Socialists are thugs who fight dirty.

I hate how NEWSMAX grabs OTHER PEOPLES' stories, and won't link to them. They're a bunch of parasites.

I visit ABCNEWS.COM almost everyday, but not for the news. I always check ABCNEWS to see what the new leftist propaganda is out there. In sort of the same way I check FOXNEWS.COM as well, however it's clear the FOX is clearly more open and honest about their conservative leanings. Then again Conservatives in general are more honest about where they are coming from in terms of ideology. The three major networks (all very left leaning) have tried to foster this myth that they are the pinnacle of objective broadcast journalism. The truth is no media outlet is strictly unbiased. FOXNEWS certainly comes the closest, but the major networks realize a majority of Americans are Democrats and that is where their bottom line is. Granted Republicans are better at mobilizing their people, but integrity and truth are far from the minds of news Execs at ABC, CBS, and NBC. Ruthless smear campaigns to draw Democratic viewers are the foremost in their minds.

I am half way through Bernard Goldberg's "Bias". I know its been out awhile, but just now I am getting around to reading it. The thing that amazes me is the fact that the leftist media (redundant statement) cannot own up to the examples shown in the book.

You would think that some journalist in one of the alphabet news organisations would be able to see it and admit it. Now that Fox is eating into the profits, there may be some change ahead. After all, liberals have no problem spending other peoples money, but when its coming from their pocket they don't need much encouragement to take steps to save it.
