the media is obviously an outlet for liberal points of view. for example CNN, the best-known liberal news media, was started by a self-proclaimed socialist -would he have his news any other way? and since the average american believes whatever is on tv, it is likely to make a liberal out of someone ignorant of the workings of the media. liberals will believe it because theyre liberals. even Fox news has liberals on its programming, greta van susteren and geraldo rivera for instance. and with the media focusing more on britney spears' hair, what has the public possibly missed? something that would support the right wing perhaps? like a texas democrat that wants america to lift a ban on selling weapons to venezuela? speaking of that, why should america make the first step in improving relations?

The media is conservative, not liberal. Read newspapers and AP wire stories, and use your brain to separate the facts from the propaganda.

You don't trust the them you find other media sources. Fox News is slanted toward the conservative and CNN is slanted toward the liberals. No one reports the facts. Go through other media outlets. If someone is smart they will check out both sides of the story before coming to a decision.

The liberal media is a total myth and has been proven such many times over.
In short consider:
Fox news, owned by a bed-wetting Repub, Rupert Murdock.
NBC - GE, owned by another Repug
AM hate radio.....rush, hannity, O'Lielly, et al.
CNN is more Conserv than Lib these days...have you bothered to watch that idiot Glenn Beck yet?
I could go on and on, but I'm pretty sure you don't want the truth, no, you'd rather keep repeating the same old memos from Karl Rove's fax machine.

you cant trust the media. most media stations are liberal biased and will more than likely spin the story to make conservatives or republicans look bad or stupid. most of the stuff you here on these stations is either not true or extremely exagerated. my advice: don't believe everything you here. do your research and make sure you have all the facts straight before making an opinion.

I believe we can trust American media outlets, except FOX News. I find it most comforting to gather information from European outlets, such as the BBC World Service, also. They have a seemingly unbiased slant on American issues. They also pride themselves on delving into issues on a greater, less censored scale.

News media has only one goal, making money.
If it means extreme or sensationalism makes money, that's where they go.
I like the news channels where you get TWO points of view not just the cramming down your throat of the network's philosophy.
If you have ONE anchor, you have preaching.

You are very far off-base. Get off the Hannity, Rush and Coulter. Think for yourself. It's tough, but objective. But in the long run, it will be better for you - Oxycontin can kill.

Yes, the media has a liberal bias, but you're just going to have to accept that and seperate the propaganda from the news. And I suggest watching Fox, which is less biased towards the liberal side.

You can't trust the media. It's all about ratings and money. That's it! If you do trust the media, you are a fool.
