Can you give us some examples of these "obvious left leaning" networks?Tasmin said:Should be an interesting read, Vauge. I agree that the commentary is biased. I watch because I happen to be biased the same way. I don't think the actual news items in between the commentary are biased, but if they are, then what's so wrong with one network being slanted so in an attempt to balance the obvious left leaning NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN. Hmmm one network leaning Right, four networks leaning Left. That's balance.
I mean I know there was the Dan Rather piece on 60 minutes where he ran some, what later turned out to be faked documents, about Bush's military records. The thing that struck me odd about that whole mess was after all the smoke cleared and everyone agreed the documents were faked, nobody seemed to care that one of the persons who varified that they were fakes, Marian Carr Knox the secretary who was supposed to have typed many of them. What she said about them was "that's not the format we used" But went on to say "content is accurate and was perhaps copied from the originals." So the "liberal, left wing" media was ok with the fact that Bush didn't show up for duty and showed constant disregard for authority?
