First of all, Dan Rather is certainly a Bush hater, and it obviously shows, IMO. Second of all, those old time networks remain 80% liberal through and through, right down to cameramen and angles they may take. Thirdly, more than half the nation questioned Clinton, and less than half have voted for for HIM. You've no point there. I suspect you would impose 50/50 balance on the media(not that that hasn't already happened via government to some extent, and thanks to the likes of FOX, perhaps to a far greater extent). Suppose the UN and everyone that matters supported moving on NK. I suspect you'd support peaceniks getting 50% of the airtime, by government decree. I could be wrong. By the by, there is MUCH more than just comedy on the Bill Maher show, the man is quite serious and it shows(thank-god he allows Dennis Miller to tell jokes too).

Despite its obvious policy to allow both sides to speak, I have seen whole programs on Fox where no commentator represented anything other than a conservative point of view. But so what? As I was suggesting, I've lived a lifetime seeing the opposite so many times it is disgusting. As I was saying, I don't think you are right just yet, but if or when you are, I say "right back at 'cha buddy." It's about time. Payback is a bitch, eh?

BS, Peter Jennings.

Liberal bias in the media went out of existence a long time ago.
