<< Do you sincerely believe the mainstream media is uncensored and unbiased in its reporting? >>

The mainstream media is more unbiased than biased, and our news is largely uncensored. Most news articles contain very little bias. But, usually on major issues, where it is necessary to take a stand, then you can say that the news is biased.

But, for every conservatively biased news service, there is a liberal news service and a moderate news service. I believe it balances itself out, don't you?

On the radio you have Rush Limbaugh, Gorden Liddy and Oliver North and many other conservatives. I find MSNBC more conservative than not, but there are still liberal and moderate shows on MSNBC.

Two favorite Republican conservatives with mass exposure are Jerry Farwell and Pat Robinson.

I find CNBC more liberal and moderate than MSNBC, mostly because of Geraldo. If you start breaking down the newspapers, I find the WSJ more conservative than the Miami Herald.

Everyone has the chance to listen to, read or watch the news bias of their choice. One of the most impartial news services is CSPAN.

I find CNN to be largely unbiased, but most of the major networks are biased towards the conservative.

My main point to Darrell was that a free, uncensored press keeps a people free. It is the most important part of a free society.

When you say that the mainstream media is biased, do you mean that you feel that it is ALL conservative, or all liberal, or what?

Do you disagree that it's important to keep the press free and uncensored? If you don't want the press to remain free, who do you want to dictate what they publish or say? Do you want it left up to the government?
