I don't know. I guess I agree that the media is biased. Honestly it seems to me to be biased towards the lowest common set of interests. Basically they want to tell you what they think most folks want to hear about, and pretty much ignore the rest of what is actually happening in the news. Some opinions coming: I think if you watch CNN and you think that is all the news you should know about then probably you have just never seen real news, or have a very short memory about what is going on in the world (Iraq, Afganistan, Iran, Israel, Africa, all hotspots on the globe these days). Each tagline is designed to make you stop and be interested, like a brightly colored cereal box your kid sees at a grocery store. CNN's top stories right now.

Dirty Emails wiht Mark Foley & toe tapping in restrooms with Craig dont fit the definition of sexual contact in most peoples minds.Meanwhile every scandal of recent involving democrats , Clinton , Frank, McGreevey, Spitzer, etc actually had real sex in their sex scandals. YOu know that it is a real sex scandal when the print and TV media refuses to identitfy the culprit as a democrat , as the USA Today refused to do 2 days ago when addressing the Spitzer incident, as did the NBC and ABC nightly news. only CBS actually had the audacity to mention that Spitzer was a democrat . 2 years ago every new story lead in print and on TV was " Republican Congressman Mark Foley caught in a sex scandal" that lasted for months. More examples of how the media is " objective, unbiased and of course neutral." Rich > > BTW, how long did it take Republican Sen. Larry Craig to FINALLY do > the right thing?
