And what is really cool, Air-America failed because it could not make enough money from sponsors as no one wanted to be affiliated with them... plus, they have no large listener base.
Also, Fox News continues to crush all other cable news channels in ratings.

If the information media is so liberal than why did the Republicans gain this properly interior the final 30 years. i think of it fairly is a few thing it fairly is instilled in Republicans minds so they don't pay attention to each physique that they don't consider. that's what makes Fox information and suitable-wing radio so generic that listeners are instructed that each physique media shops are bias yet regrettably you're suitable i'm now seeing human beings act in approaches that I easily have under no circumstances seen human beings like the group at MSNBC act the way they are actually not in basic terms are they liberal bias yet they are elitist i did not comprehend what Republicans have been speaking approximately till right here those days oh properly stay and learn.

I don't recognize your claim. I can not believe that anybody feels that the media has been too hard on Bush. This is a man that routinely lies and has committed treason, yet they just report what he says without pointing out that it is a lie, and a complete contradiction of what he said the day before. On the other hand, Clinton's lie about a ******** was lead story for three years. I do think that the reporters of main stream media are probably more liberal, (after all, who is better informed than a journalist.) However, I feel they bend over backwards to not give that impression.
As for Fox News, it is simply the propaganda department of the White House. No real attempt is made to be an objective news outlet.

The media today is so soft because its freedom has been taken away .
With over three hundred laws defining what is free speech and what the media can use in a story .
Liberal news is all that is left to print or should I say mediocre news is all thats left .
Please spare me the news media is a liberal rant and understand this nation is in real trouble .

That really troubles you and most conservatives. The problem is that we have sunk our journalistic standards on everything. I'm a liberal and I agree with you...I feel that the electronic media journalists are playing a role in the issues instead of just reporting the issues.

Well if they agree with their politics naturally it is not skewed and in the case of FOX they do not agree with their politics so it's baised.
Anyway most news is liberal because many liberals want to make the news to their view so they go to a school of journalism. Then they skew their retelling of events I.E. to their views regardless of the truth.
It is sad.

I don't even subscribe to the newspaper anymore here in South Florida. They are just liberal trash rags.
It is amazing all the good things that go on in my community with children and older teens, but that stuff is rarely if ever printed in the Palm Beach Post or Miami Herald. Trash only.

Media has always had a bias. It is so much better in our era than when compared to any other time in print/media history.

Stephanie's response proves the jaundiced view inherent to the left. On the one hand, she denies a leftist bent to the media, but in the next breath, she declares that the media should hold President Bush to a different standard than other Presidents. Hypocrisy, thy name (as always) is liberal!

If Liberals deny there are Liberal Media then we can claim Fox News is not Right-wing. right?
