JF, > I listen to the evening news, and they bend over backwards to express both sides. I listen to Rush and he bends over backwards to obscure the other side... including repetitive outright lies. There is no way you can say there is ANY equivalency on partisanship.

LOL, if you want to judge the mainstream media based on the "standard of professionalism" that Rush has, be my guest.

I already said a lot about Joe the Plumber, so if you don't think that was an example of political bias severely affecting the mainstream media, we'll just have to disagree.

Obama's relationship with Rezko and Ayers is only being covered by the MSM in the context of McCain's negative campaigning. I might as well just go straight to www.fightthesmears.com instead of watching the MSM echo the points made on that website.

John Edwards' affair was actively being spiked by the mainstream media, leaving only a tabloid newspaper to uncover the truth. Only when the truth was acknowledged by Edwards did the MSM cover the story, but they tried very hard to pretend that "there was no there there."

Back to Palin, there's a lot of nonsense over how she wasn't "vetted" and how the MSM is doing the job McCain's people supposedly didn't do. Of course, a Kenyan pastor giving an odd "witchcraft" prayer for Palin is considered "newsworthy" by the MSM. So is the whole "speaking in tongues" nonsense.

The bottom line is this: All of this stuff wasn't pushed by DailyKos or MoveOn.org or Air America or even Michael Moore. All of this stuff was pushed by the mainstream media, the very media you think is "bending over backwards" to express both sides. Really? Is that how far left they have drifted, to the point where they have to "bend over backwards" to accomodate a right-of-center nation?
