I agree it isn't a conspiracy too. However, I think there's more to it than left leaning folks in the media believing they are actually centrists & they are surrounded by other like minded liberals, so their natural bias ends up in their journalism. I think that a significant minority know they spin, distort & intentionally leave out information contrary to their POV from what they report. Their reluctance to correct previous erroneous reports or to burry their corrections so most people won't ever see it is bad enough. Heck, I see them repeating lies & distortions long after they have been debunked (or allowing a politician or "expert" tell the lie without challenging or correcting it). Good news is frequently not reported at all or gets a paragraph or two buried in a completely unrelated report. And their consistent need to hammer away at all manner of perceived negatives when good things happen only adds to my suspicions about their real intent. The capture of Saddam was a perfect example. Most media outlets went out of their way to discuss the perceived negatives within minutes of his capture. Then they trotted out mostly left leaning politicians & other "experts" on their shows to have them do the same. It was a great day for the Iraqi people. It was a great day in the war on terror. It was a great day for GWB, unless you had your TV on.
