When the major television networks have given a platform to conservative hate merchants like Ann Coulter, Glenn Beck, and Melanie Morgan?

It's their way of justifying why majority of Americans don't aggree with them on most issues...abortion...stem cells....miniumum wage...Iraq....
The public just disagrees with them because of the "liberal media"

The Fox news and talk radio do as well as they do,ratings-wise, because there is finally something to watch from a conservative bias. That's why Air America has lower ratings than the static on the next channel up.
There was one bias on 3 networks for decades preceding this. As far as I am concerned, one way or the other, left right, or otherwise, unbiased, truly objective reporting is impossible. I don't think there's anything wrong with that to be honest. I won't bother citing examples of mainstream bias, as that can be easily googled or wiki'd.

CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, New York Times, Los Angeles Times, the AP, Reuters.....
Need I continue? Okay, fine -
"On Monday, March 31, the Los Angeles Times published a front-page photograph that had been altered in violation of Times policy.
The primary subject of the photo was a British soldier directing Iraqi civilians to take cover from Iraqi fire on the outskirts of Basra. After publication, it was noticed that several civilians in the background appear twice. The photographer, Brian Walski, reached by telephone in southern Iraq, acknowledged that he had used his computer to combine elements of two photographs, taken moments apart, in order to improve the composition."

Here's a nice headline for you, showing just how fair the media is: "Reuters Apologizes Over Altered Lebanon War Photos; Suspends Photographer" (link to story below)
"Reuters' Picture Kill
With the admission by Reuters that two Israeli/Hezbollah war photographs by Adnan Hajj were faked, photojournalism of the mainstream media is now being subjected to the same scrutiny as examples of biased reporting that are already alienating consumers from the principal international suppliers of news and information." (link below)
And you seriously have to ask why we insist there's a liberal bias?!?

You have got to be kidding! when you are conservative in the media you are identified like YOU just did in your question.When you are a liberal in the media it is a given, and you are not identified. The best way to look at it is that you will never see liberal democrats complain about about media bias that because they are not stupid, if there was a conservative bias in the media againts liberals they would be screaming so hard your ears would pop as a ex-liberal that has been my observation.

Have you ever seen Countdown with Keith Olbermann? The Daily Show has a major liberal bias too.

They did, they do and probably always will have.
I really shouldn't make a blanket statement like that. But the
percentage of the,media that is not biased is less then 2 percent.

Because they want everyone to watch their propaganda channel Fox News, listen to right wing radio, and read publications such as World Net Daily. In other words, they want to discredit the other media so they can have a free hand in brainwashing the populace.

The media does this ONLY when it is convenient and fits their agenda.
Just open your eyes! They have not reported ONE positive thing about this administration or the WOT... Talk about unbalanced!
