You have hit the nail on the head. One of the big lies the wingers have told, stuck too, and repeated so many times that even some otherwise reasonable people believe now is that the press is overwhelmingly liberal. In my opinion of all the news which leans one way or the other less that one third is slanted in favor of the democrats, probably less than one quarter.

<font color=magenta> For a decade, Washington has backed the Turkish and Azerbaijani governments to steer the export of Caspian-region crude oil away from Russia. Moscow's latest riposte has been to ally with the Iranian oil industry and open up the shortest, cheapest and most lucrative oil route of all, southward out of the Caspian to Iran.

The economics of the southward route are the latest blow for the Bush administration as it tries to redraw the geography of the Caucasus on an anti-Russian map. But for oil exporters and shippers in the Caspian, US President George W Bush's jawboning looks to be as futile as King Canute telling the sea to roll backward</font>
