Dan, You definitely get both sides of the story from the Washington Times and Drudge. Again, where did I say that? Washington Times is an example of one side of the story. New York times, for example is the other side. I read both, occasionally. And you've definitely been posting both sides of the story on the political front here. Why should I? What I post are my conclusions. Regarding the media bias vs. the rest of the US population, according to a poll of journalists (all levels), 89% voted for Clinton, 7% voted for Bush in 1992, while the general population voted 43% for Clinton and high 30s for Bush. I don't think why it is so difficult for you to accept this FACT. The results were similarly lopsided in Reagan elections, that Reagan won by a landslide, but he barely got to the double digits with the media. The result of this bias is that Bush is portrayed in media worse that he is in reality, while Gore is portrayed better better than reality. If you are aware of this and apply this filter to what you read, you are more likely to see the true picture. Joe
