The media is most definitely biased, but not in the way Limbaugh and O'Reilly would have you believe. The media, through the brow beating of the Republican party, has all but resigned themselves to adopting Republican terminology, and the framework of their argument, ignored reports that not only dispute, but disprove Republican policy and it's effects, etc., etc. Not to mention that all the major Media Corporations in America are owned by very wealthy individuals who find it in their best interests to support the Republican party and their agenda even though that agenda is concentrated on furthering the wealthy elite and leaving the rest of America out in the cold.

Lies, bias, unbalanced and virtually no effort to tell the other side. That would be okay IF the media had not, and continues, been so consolidated with ownership, therefore, point of view is easily manipulated by media gods like Murdoch and the "Manhattan Lobby."
Joseph Goebbels Media Inc. rules.

Fox has a conservative bias, the rest have a liberal bias to varying degrees. More than anything though, the mainstream media is just sloppy and uninformed.
I have several Google News Alerts set up for topics that I'm interested in and know a lot about (I get an email whenever a new article pops up that matches my search terms). I'm amazed at how many reporters get basic facts wrong, as if they couldn't be bothered to do more than ten minutes of research.
The worst is a search I have set up for articles on recreational nudity. I'd guess about half of all hits from 'objective' sources (ie, not opinion pieces) have a negative spin.
I'm deeply concerned for anyone who get their news solely from TV and newspapers.

Yes, the media is biased. Like whenever the New York Times publishes classified information, even though democrats and republicans in Congress ask them not to.

You better believe that Media is biased. O' Reilly and Limbaugh has been truthful about that. The Media has too much power and they know this.

When they claim that the media is run by pinko commies in spite of the fact that they are all owned by giant billion dollar corporations, do you Begin to think that something is not quite right?

Check the source before making any decisions, but I wouldn't let these two clowns watch my dog.

No they haven't been lying.
All media is biased these days.
FNN leans so far to the right to try to counter balance ALL the others that lean so far to the left.
