I think it is just the opposite of what you state. Guess it depends on your point of view. Just curious, other than Fox (which is not as biased to the right as people like to say it is), what other US press org favors the right? Please note that opinionated talk show hosts do not count because they make it clear that they are stating their opinion. They do not claim they are stating unbiased fact.

Is the sky blue? Of course the press is biased. As for percentages if you count tv, radio, and newspaper:
75 percent left, 20 percent right, 5 percent unbiased.

Is the Pope catholic? There is no such thing as unbiased, so we'll dispose of that one. Percentages for the left and right? Who cares? Six giant corporations control the media, the newspapers, radio, television, internet. One in a hundred outlets might be independently owned. We aren't exposed to any news they don't want us to see or hear about. Their only objective is to make money, they'll tell us our opinion if we need one.

how can anyone believe that today's press is more right than left?
How much positive news do you see about our government (Bush) and how often is negative news repeated?
Please if today's news isn't at least 90% left then i need to enter an old folks home .
Just one example, We all heard for at least a week straight when we had the "worst month for casualties in 9 months",
But we are just starting to hear the lowest casualty rates during the past 3 months...
Be honest to yourself and think about it.

Dont think they are biased as people claim........ I watch several news outlets and see them slam both sides...... Most at least attempt to appear non-biased......just because they run a story that doesnt show your particular stance in a glowing light, doesnt mean they are particularly biased
