she does not introduce liberal orgs as liberal. Can you name a few liberal orgs you have seen on CNBC lately? The ACLU for example, have they been on? Just today I heard a program where this supposed "liberal bias" in the media was questioned. One caller mentioned that there are literally hundreds of conservative talk shows on radio and TV and there are almost no liberal equivalents unless you somehow include NPR/PBS as liberal (but that hardly compensates for O'Reilly)... even then it is suspect considering NPR gives more airtime to business (marketplace) than liberal commentary. To make a claim that there is a liberal bias in the media you need to assume that mainstream news such as CBS, 60 minutes etc. has a sort of "secret" liberal message that is somehow orders of magnitude more powerful than most of fox news, Limbaugh, George Will, Robert Novak and most (not all) political commentary on TV. Only Crossfire and a few point/counterpoint shows have liberal representation, there isn't anything with a strong liberal host that competes with O'Reilly or Limbaugh though.
