Wrong. There is a rightwing bias in the media. Only the right-wing anchors and hosts inject their personal partisan opinions into the news. Brokaw, Rather, Brown and all the rest, maybe they vote democrat but I have heard any of them ever skew the news to be anti-Bush. Never. They would consider that unprofessional. However, every single rightwing host from talk radio to Fox News does definitely and openly show strong partisan bias. Therefore, the private voting patterns of journalists and anchors are irrelevant. Until recently with the rightwing neocon revolution, anchors kept their opinions to themselves. Now the rightwing is constantly on the attack while the others still show both sides of the story and don't tell us which is correct. The only exception I can think of is very recent, that being Air America which isn't even a national network. But that's simply a reaction to the rightwing partisans. Moore is also a reaction to the same.

AS, The press gave Bush a long free ride for too long. It cost us. Members of the press have been consistently polled as being more liberal than the public in general. So fukking what?!!! They let Bush get away with murder....literally. They said little when he ran to the SC after the election. They said little when he sat like a jackass after the WTC was attacked and then took off on AF one to places unknown. They said little when he erroneously jabbered on about Saddam. They said little when he pre emptively attacked another nation for no good reason. They finally opened their mouths when, and only when, it became clear that the Bushies were screwed up and were messing up the Iraqi war. One fukking thing I've learned during this mess is that our free press, unlike the Brit press, is afraid of the president. Sad......very sad! ted
