Do you consider the news biased?

    I would like to know how you think the media reports on important news these days...

    Personally, I think the media has completely failed us.

    I believe it's dominated by a large network of liberal journalists who are terribly pessimistic with every aspect of the news.

    They could even make Jesus look bad these days...

    I'd like to know what you guys think.

    I think I would have to agree with you.

    Then FOX bends it the other way.

    There is not a single one that reports the What, Who, Where and When. They all feel the need to add the implied Why.

    I definitely agree. I can't bear to watch anything, whether it's Fox, ABC, CNN anything.

    The only news that isn't biased is The Weather Channel.

    :rolleyes:

    I've kept some sources in my bookmarks on media bias for the last year or so:

    Some interesting twists in there, especially about google blocking conservative sites. Links prefaced with ** are particularly disturbing.

    I find the weather channel is extremely biased. It always shows the weather in my part of the world on the bottom of the screen. Its like xenophobic or something - as if I don't care about the 5 day forecast in seattle or whatever :p
