I didn't mean to suggest that there was a conspiracy, but I believe that like many other things the education system is promoting socialist values, and those with the proper ideology get jobs and help from those with a similar ideology. In Canada where we have a state owned media outlet, most members of news departments are highly socialist in their personal politics, and it just isn't possible to be completely objective when you have a "prejudice" for a particular party. If I watch CNN, they are extremely clear where they stand.

On my local station I watched a political call in show, and found myself getting more and more angry with one of the hosts. The station had been independent and was bought out by the Asper family, who are prominent Liberals. Sure enough before I knew it several of the employees were running for positions in the various governments with the Liberal Party.

One thing I notice is the photography in newspapers and on TV. It is amazing to me that the more pictures you take, and the more you play with photoshop, you can start to pick out how the shots were framed to influence the viewer. So that a politician will look fine in one paper and always be just a little out of focus or a little pale or a tad squinty in a publication that is not on his side........
