When the republicans ran an ad that had a 1/14 second part where RATS appeared on the screen. The New York times ran the story on the front page. (After receiving a fax from the DNC mind you). Yet, when the democrats edited and spliced a Newt Gingrich speech, so much so that it changed the meaning of what was said, Where was the "very objective" NYT ? Or more recently, when Al Gore was caught lying, (Grandmas drugs, union label song) Did they give the story the same coverage ? NO ! Or how about the recent hit piece on the florida election, where they failed to mention the Federal Concent decree that mandated how FL should handle military votes ? gimmie a friggin break.

Of course, you are laughably wrong. And you are a fool. Just shows the logical fallacy of taking your anecdote and enlarging on it, i.e., from the specific to the general. About 85% of national journalists vote Dem. according to the famous Lichter study. Save Fox and the leading newspaper, the WSJ, virtually every major news outlet is headed and staffed by Liberals. Lichter study surveyed political attitudes and voting patterns of 240 journalists working for such major media as The New York Times, the Washington Post, US News and World Report, the Wall Street Journal and all the networks. Key findings included: * 90 percent favored abortion. * 80 percent supported affirmative action. * At least 81 percent voted Democratic in every election from 1964-96. * Most blamed the U.S. for Third World poverty. An excerpt from that study says journalists emerge as virtually unquestioning supporters of environmentalism, court ordered affirmative action, women's rights groups, homosexual rights, and sexual liberation in general. As for talk radio, it lives or dies by ratings and Liberals don't have or get ratings. Mario Cuomo failed at WABC. So did Alan Colmes, who Fox inflicts on its viewers to balance the popular Hannity - also #1 at WABC. Despite the huge decline in network TV news they appear impervious to providing balance like Fox does on cable. That's why Fox is now #1 in Cable news and CNN is seeking change add some balance to its Liberal renown. Speaking of North Carolina, you may be on to something as a major Dem figure just left that party because the Dem party is controlled by the special interests: Luther Hodges Jr., whose fellow North Carolina Democrats saw him back in 1978 as the "dragon slayer" who could topple Sen. Jesse Helms (though he ended up losing the Democratic primary), has become a Republican, the Raleigh News and Observer reports: Hodges said he had been drifting toward the GOP for years. Although he voted for Democrat Bill Clinton in 1992, he supported Republicans Bob Dole in 1996 and George W. Bush in 2000. The Clinton presidency was the deciding point, Hodges said. Hodges said Clinton seemed to be driven by political polls and fund raising rather than by any set of principles. He said Clinton was symptomatic of the Democratic Party as a whole. "All through the last four years of the Clinton administration, I did see the Democratic Party nationally changing," Hodges said in a recent telephone interview. "I really feel education is being ruined by organized labor. I think the trial lawyers . . . are the real backbone of the Democratic Party." opinionjournal.com
