Missusjonz, you are kidding right? You don't know the actual story behind Bill Clinton Monica Lewinsky coverage. The fact is the "mainstream" liberal media knew about the Bill Clinton Monica Lewinsky scandal for months and just sat on the story. This is Matt Drudge's claim to fame. He started reporting this story, when no other media outlet would. Once he started reporting it, and people started reading his Drudge Report, the liberal media outlets were forced to report it. If the Bill Clinton scandal had happened just a few years prior to when it do, before the rise of the Internet, you never would have heard about it.
The media IS Liberal. Anyone who denies that is a fool or living in a dream world. All of the big News Papers, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The San Francisco Chronicle, The LA Times, The Chicago Tribune, etc. Are all Extremely Liberal as well as the major network news, CNN, NBC, ABC, and CBS. And the major weekly news magazines, Time and News Week.
Conservative Talk Radio is not news it is entertainment. The host themselves even say this.
However, even if it were news, the rise of Conservative Talk Radio as well as the introduction of the moderate news network channel, Fox News, are both relatively recent phenomena. And have only been successfully because of a large public backlash against the entrenched liberal media establishment.
BTW, if you think Fox News is a conservative news station you are absolutely crazy. Fox News is the only place where you will find nearly the same amount of Conservative pundits and you do Liberal ones. Which means Fox is pretty moderate. Every other major News network CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS all have a ratio between 3-5 to 1 in favor of Liberal pundits.
If you don't believe me take the Pepsi Challenge yourself. Watch a week of Fox News and mark down how many conservative and liberal pundits appear and do the same for CNN. If you are honest about who you mark as which, you will be shocked!!! I was!

Give it a rest...the media exposes everyone equally. The Republicans are an easy target..they keep doing and doing, thinking they will not get caught, OR can make spin of disaster into something good. Unfortunately, people like you, and many others, are easily fooled by hog wash. And the Republicans have been farming your ignorance for as long as I can remember. You all seem to be parrots of the Republican party with "liberal agenda" yet can never back up any statements you make so profusely. You all remind me of Fundamentalist Christians who, when presented with logic, scream "read the Bible" as if that were an absolute source of pure knowledge. Again, give it a rest and open your eyes tight shut by ignorance. There is enough ignorance in the world without your adding to it.

Survey research has shown that an almost overwhelming fraction of journalists are liberal. For instance, Elaine Povich (1996) reports that only seven percent of all Washington correspondents voted for George H.W. Bush in 1992, compared to 37 percent of the American public. More recently, the New York Times reported that only eight percent of Washington correspondents thought George W. Bush would be a better president than John Kerry. This compares to 51% of all American voters. David Brooks notes that for every journalist who contributed to George W. Bush’s campaign, 93 contributed to Kerry’s. So noooooooooooooo! No liberal media bias at all, uh-uh!

The liberal media is being backed up by big bucks from liberals themselves like George Soro's, and others like him. To bad too cause it's gotten to the point where their readers don't beleive anything they write and we are seeing thru their lies and intentions. It's said that newspapers and tv newscasts are loosing viewers in big numbers

Oh, dear God.
Here we go again.
"Liberal media! Liberal media! Squawk! Squawk!"
Are you even going to try to come up with something new?
Okay, I'll play along.
"Diebold! Diebold! If Democrats lose it's all cause of Diebold!"
Is that a good enough cliche in response to your tired old cliche?
Conservative radio is 85% of what is on talk radio. 74% of Commentary television shows are conservative. You guys already control the media, so give it up already. How is it you own it all, and yet you hate it all?
Grow up and find a new straw man, because this one has been burned up.

They are so quick to forget about ole Barney Frank.
No one cried for his resigning. But Republicans do the right thing and resign. Something Clinton, Breathalyzer Kennedy and so forth should look into
