lol......pretty amazing, isn't it. It doesn't make sense (which is, of course, what you would expect from a liberal). I think there are a couple of reasons: (1) they became spoiled rotten during the era when there was NO viable talk radio and nothing available other than left leaning news. They became used to having it ALL their way or the highway, where news was concerned, and now that there are some other news outlets they're just plain mad, like spoiled little kids who are used to having their own way. Now that they are being introduced to the real world, all they can think to do is stamp their little feet and roll on the floor having a temper tantrum; and (2) Bernie Goldberg has said that many of those in the left-leaning media tend to live in a bubble where their opinions and views simply are not challenged. They don't hang out with people other than those who think the same way they do. They are so closed minded, and so sheltered from differing views, that they cannot imagine that someone would have any views other than their own.
They talk a good game where tolerance and diversity are concerned, but they are the biggest offenders of all when it comes to actually practicing what they preach.

George W. Bush campaigned in 2000 on a promise that he was "a uniter, not a divider". It has become far too apparent that this was one of his first lies, and it has led to a polarization that this country has never witnessed before. We are also more fearful now than we have ever been, and we can thank his policies for that as well. Fear has led us down a frightening road from which we may never return, and Osama Bin Laden is laughing at us, knowing that he has Bush right where he wants him---fear-crazed and financially drained!! The terrorists are far too cunning for Bush--they realize that America is MOST VULNERABLE at its pursestrings!! And they are playing Bush like the fool that he is!! And it doesn't help when conservatives talk about liberals as though they are something that you scrape off of your shoes! Fear ALSO leads to paranoia, which is exactly where you are right now, if you even ponder that ANY news we receive is presented without a slant!! Your president has done this to you, but you will steadfastly refuse to understand, just as he has done!! And neither of you will ever learn, until your country is gone and it's too late!! In case you're wondering, I don't say "my country" or "my president", because I have not been represented as an individual or as a counted voter since Bill Clinton!!

By gosh, I think you have something there! There are many liberal detractors of Bill O'Reilly and Bill O'Reilly has often defended the liberals on some issues. Trouble with the liberals, if the news is not slanted, they do not have any points with substance. The news that is laced with emotional issues and no facts supporting it, is what Bill O'Reilly disdains.The liberals resent news that only says who, what , where, when, why, and how with facts to support the above.

If you are refering to Fox News then you are insane if you think they dont lean to the right. As a matter of fact ALL news stations lean one way or the other. There isnt a news station that doesnt!

Because they are into deceiving people and want to continue in that mold. Remember, a liberal is a person who doesn't know any more than anyone else, but will tell you always they do. They are arrogant pseudo-intellectuals who care only about their own egos. Pathetic people really.

Because truth does not serve their humanist, socialist agenda. The Right exposed these people for who they are. They can no longer get away with the lies they told.
They are just whining. Even they know the right is right.

Because they have no tolerance for any point of view or opinion but their own. Kind of ironic, coming from the party that preaches tolerance.

I do not watch TV or read any news print. It is all Conservative propaganda. Only a fool would think otherwise. Check out who owns 90 percent of the news in the world and in America. Then go read the list of contributions to the Republican party, Match and game, checkmate.

They had a liberal-dominated media for so long that they feel entitled to hear only their side of the story.

If you mean FoxNews - it is presented with a slant.
