Boy if "Bush Targets Medicare" is your best example of media bias, then we have won. There is nothing inaccurate in that statement. You are just making your own fearful inference about what it means.

Did I ever say this was my best example? I do think that "Bush Targets Medicare" screaming across the top of the paper is pretty biased. It's the worst one yet posted on this topic.

And, we are winning this war slowly but surely, but the fight is by no means over. I'll get back to my paranoid delusional reality now, if you don't mind...

It's not Rob's 'fearful inference' that makes it a left-leaning headline, and therefore inaccurate and harmful. It's the years upon years of leftist accusations that Republicans want to hurt old people and children, and that they/we are heartless.

The logical inference from the headline is that Bush is about to attack Medicare, and therefore hurt the people who need it.

IMO, it's bad, albeit not unusual.

Targets is a word with negative connotations; a journalist should avoid that word.

The other real headlines on this thread don't seem bad though; they are not biased.
