One of the most ingenious aspects of the false charge of an intentional liberal bias in the news media is the unstated inference that if there is a liberal bias there by necessity cannot be an intentional conservative bias.
A new piece of hard evidence that there indeed a conservative bias in at least one quarter of the media, a Rosetta Stone of jaundiced journalism.
It’s apparently a printout of a channel's daily editorial memo, marching orders e-mailed to key staffers on how and where to slant the news. And how to adjust the facts to match the political conclusions and not the other way around.

Who is this Keith Olbermann that you speak of? I'm afraid nobody watches his TV show.
/sarc
Olbermann is a blatant Leftist.
One of the most ingenious aspects of the false charge of an intentional liberal bias in the news media.....

You mean PMSNBC actually PAYS someone to write these lies???

Oh puhleessse. Totally delusional.
Clearly, the "balance" here means an attempt to balance the overwhelming left bias of the rest of the media.
"One of the most ingenious aspects of the false charge of an intentional liberal bias in the news media is the unstated inference that if there is a liberal bias there by necessity cannot be an intentional conservative bias. "
That's amazing. Begin a treatment of a subject with a completely, and obviously false premise, and then move on as if it were fact.
Complete idiot.
Just sad... libs got the house and senate and they're bereft... nothing to do. btw, how's Olby's ratings?
He should spend his time on viagra, anger management and learning how to control his parts.
Commence ozone.
Olbermann is the gay guy that used to be on ESPN.
Thus, the need for balance. FOX has no reason to apologize for having some conservative leaning...the balance is set against a litany of liberal outfits.
Olbermann, tell this to all 46 people who watch your show.
That's because (now suspend reality here) all the networks etc., believe they are NON-BIASED, because all of the other elites believe as they do.
Is this somehow related to MSNBC's coverage of John Murtha getting slam dunked on the floor of the House and Nancy Pelosi demonstrating total ineptitude on her first act as Speaker???
Oh..sorry, the MSNBC execs have already sent their memo out that they should focus on the positive side of the news about Democrats.
He should have stuck with ESPN where his humor was actually funny.
Personally, I don't really make a point of watching FOX News, unless they're either covering a major event (i.e. the Presidential debates), or someone I greatly admire is going to be appearing on one of their shows (i.e. two years ago, when Rebecca St. James appeared on Hannity and Colmes). However, I don't think it's the disgusting cesspool of propaganda that libs make it out to be.
