jbe, I just typed in Global Warming in two major newspapers. The first one USA today. The second from the Washington Post. These are the headlines for 1998. Let's just see how balanced they really are. :-)

Now if your theory is correct and we have very little liberal bias in the major newspapers, than there should be about 50% pro-Global Warming articles, and 50% anti-Global Warming articles right?? Especially since 18,000 scientists have signed a petition stating there is no evidence of Global Warming!
Now look at the evidence objectively jbe. What does it tell you? Is there a bias in the news reporting on Global Warming or not? :-)
