Substantive articles (other then Faux or Rush) supporting this premise? What premise? The voting record of the media? That's been known and written about for years. No argument about it. They try to claim that they still write from an unbiased viewpoint anyway, but the only people who believe that are the media and other liberals.

Academics Urge Ba'athists to End Cycle of Violence Hussein supporters asked to understand "root causes" of American attacks. In the wake of the attack earlier this week that left Uday and Qusay Hussein dead, many in America's academic community came forward to encourage the remaining supporters of Saddam Hussein to "look past their anger" and try to discover the "root causes" of the American attack. Said Middle East correspondent and professional idiotarian Robert Fisk, "While it might be tempting for Saddam's supporters to lash out at the west, they would be better served by trying to understand why they are so hated throughout the world, including in their own country." Fisk went on to suggest that invading Kuwait and supporting terrorists around the world had done much to draw the ire of the west, and that the best course of action would be to try to understand American culture. A leading Berkley professor suggested that Ba'ath party members should "spend time learning about Americans, Western Culture, and maybe every try a cheeseburger or maybe listening to some pop music." Said Fisk, "The temptation will be for the Ba'athists to strike back, but violence only begets more violence. You can't judge an American until you've walked a mile in his Nikes." thelemon.net
