I have repeatedly heard you talk about the liberal press. Conversely I hear from members of the press (and others) how conservative the press is. I conject that it may be more a matter of the perceiver than the perceived. I agree that much of what I read about George Bush is colored and I contend it is about as colored as was the coverage of Bill Clinton, just the other way around. I feel that the press and the government are typically at odds. You can ignore the irrefutable fact that most media outlets are dominated from the top down by liberals. There is no doubt that their bias is reflected in their reporting & their selective reporting. This is all well documented. I don't know how this can be documented. I presume Dan Rather is slightly left and the Peter Jennings right and that Edward R Morrow was really good, but I truly have no idea of what whose affiliations are or that of the media they work for. So I'd really appreciate seeing the documentation you allude to. Could you provide it, or point me to it, please? Also please provide a guide for interpreting this documentation. Obviously Mother Jones would find the New York Times conservative and the Heritage Foundation would conclude that Readers Digest is liberal. Is their any publication or news source that the majority would find neutral or objective? Maybe it does all fall back on what you and I (and others) think as individuals. Thanks.
