Correct me if I'm wrong.....
Most Republicans are frickin delusional! As if thinking that all media besides FOX is left wing isn't delusional enough, more specifically, they think the media is attacking Rumsfeld over the whole issue about the armor and now the "fake signatures". Some even blame Clinton. If you ask me, Rummy is basically getting a free ride from the press, just like he and the rest of the * Administration always does. So big deal if we saw the clip of the soldier asking the question to Rummy a few times. If I'm not mistaken, all MSM has been repeating Rummy's/* Admin's lies since that day, with none ever taking any responsibility for anything. And then today, (and likely from now on)right after it's revealed that Rummy now has a machine sign his signature on letters to the families of the fallen, all we hear about is how * gave Rummy his "vote of confidence", like that's something that justifies any and everything that Rummy does or something. If the media were "left-wing", they would ask * if HE'S delusional for saying that Rummy is doing "a really fine job", rather than repeating his flawed perception of reality! Well, I think I answered my own question, but how about some feedback?

1. I never argue with people
over whether left wing or right wing with regard to media. You can never ever change their minds.
However the opinion of which media is right or left tells you a lot about the persons politics.
Ask some one which source they consider to be fair and balanced. Has a poll ever been done on DU? It would be interesting.

2. I agree with you. I have RW relatives that become apoplectic when they
watch the news ... even Sinclair or Fox news ... because the media is too hard on the president! They choose to watch channels run by people who are paid to present Republicans in the best possible light, but they still find them far too critical of GW and Co.

I'm not interested in watching regular network news anymore. I find it too superficial, and usually biased. There's so little criticism of GW in the MSM that I'm completely baffled when people still complain about the liberal media. The best explanation I've come up with is that their pundits (Rush, O'Really, Hannity, etc.) are keeping them pissed off and suspicious of the press.

7. ONE QUESTION. ONE HONEST QUESTION did this.
that's all it takes to remove their credibility. pin them on ONE thing, ONE time.

lazy whore media. (and that doesn't accuse them of right or left bias.)
