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.
Its 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.

LOL! That's gonna leave a mark.
Let me just say for the record, having not read the post and having no judgment on the poster of any kind, "why do we give the moron the exposure?"
Including myself, the sixty odd folks who wandered here gave offalman a significant ratings boost.
Let these jerks get there own audience. Course, then they might have to compete in the free market, and we know where that will lead them.
I hope Olberman gets fired by MSNBC, and has to ask Dan Rather for a job at HD-NET.

Journalism is the business of verbal self-promotion. Others seek to gain importance/money by satisfying the needs of the people for food, clothing, shelter, security, and fuel. Journalists seek to gain importance/money by mere talk. To do so, journalism mercilessly criticizes and second guesses the people who actually do things instead of merely talking about things.Consequently journalism is of its nature arrogant, negative, and superficial - and socialist. Talk radio, and Fox News Channel, fill a niche market for journalism which is not socialist. And anything not socialist, socialists will think of a s "right wing."
If you look in the dictionary under "lying scumbag", there's a picture of Olbermannsturmfuhrer.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my FoxFan list. *Warning: This can be a high-volume ping list at times.
I wonder what FoxNews' ratings were the day after the election (compared with MSNBC or CNBC or CNN and their cheerleaders for the Dem victors -- and the Islamic terrorists). Just wondering....
Any day now. NBC seems to be firing everyone else as they try to bail themselves out of total failure, and I'd imagine that getting that abomination of a "news" network off their chest would help in that respect.
