Big deal. Most of us already know how corrupt and elitist the media is.

Bill Press(titute) was on O'Reilly the other night and implied that the reason FoxNews is so successful is because it attracts a huge, untapped pool of intolerant people - implying that CNN attracts only the tolerant (presumably, the BlueZone voter). Can you get anymore elitist and condescending? What a pr**k!

The 60 Minutes Deception
An Exposé of Media Corruption
http://www.conservativebeacon.com/60_minutes_deception.html

If ever there was an example of liberal bias in the "mainstream" media, this is it. CBS' "60 Minutes" program and its host, Mike Wallace, engaged in dishonest tactics and the spreading of misinformation in what can only be regarded as efforts to remain faithful to the Clinton point of view.

While one bad apple shouldn't tarnish the entire news industry, this is but one of many examples of major news networks doing the bidding of the Clinton White House. It's hard not to be cynical that the entire "mainstream" media is hopelessly liberal, non-objective, biased, and corrupt.

CBS and Mike Wallace should be ashamed of themselves and the unprofessional shenanigans they resorted to in order to distort reality to conform to their pre-determined conclusions. Since watching this video, I have refused to watch anything on CBS. And I have lost any respect I might have had for Mike Wallace.

#35 I'd like to slap Press so hard, it would make those ill-fitting false teeth rattle. O'Reilly did a good job of putting him in his place, but Press needs a lot more of it. He brings nothing even to a liberal program, nothing.

Since when did blanket tolerance become a virtue.

The law does not tolerate murder, rape, theft etc., etc.

Parents don't (shouldn't) tolerate their children lying, cursing, breaking curfue etc., etc., etc.

Coaches don't tolerate players' insubordination, unpreparedness, etc., etc., etc.

So, is a viewer that doesn't tolerate media bias, spin, lying and left leaning news non-virtuous? I think people that take a stand ought to be comended. Bill Press is an idiot and everytime he opens his mouth he proves it.
