First, it doesn't matter a tinker's damn what a reporter's political predelictions are. Who assigns the stories, and most importantly, who decides what gets published or aired? You can have a flaming liberal firebrand on your staff, but if he's covering mall openings, the chances are real good that nobody's going to figure out his political leanings as he gives a blow-by-blow account of some local beauty queen cutting a ribbon.

Second, the "liberal" media meme must be true, because Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Joe Scarborough, George Will, Pat Buchanan, Bay Buchanan, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Michael Savage, and Bill O'Reilly all say so. If your friend can run off a similar list of "liberal" media personalities that I just typed off the top of my head, then I'll admit that it's at least equal. If they can double that list, with comparable air time, guest shots, and so forth, then I'll grant the thesis.

Otherwise, your friend is full of it.
