I'm not being venomous or abusive, but pointing out that you were all over the map, and not sticking to the original claim of bias. I'm pointing out a logical problem with the dismissal of a source because of the politics - it seemed you were dismissing the point because the site is slanted, which is valid only if they lied. They didn't. What is relevant is, in the past, the same cast of characters (recognize the names Rumsfeld and Cheney?) have supported this guy and other news sources have noted it. Commondreams is a fine place to pick up stories. I also use other places as well.

9/11 had nothing to do with Iraq. That is a red herring. Iraq was about Saddam amassing WMDs (which we aided). I merely was pointing out (which you have taken personally) was that your dismissive attitude was a variant of an ad hominem dismissal (except instead of a PERSON, it was an ORGANIZATION).

What if, for example, the news media is biased in favor of current administration (whomever that may be) and is controlled by a few people who punish those who make stinks by removing their access to the leadership (which I believe it is)? The only people remaining to point out the truth may have to pull it from the fringe.
