re: Any clear thinking person would deduce the media is biased. Any clear thinking person would deduce that the <news> media is entertainment. They only care about ratings and selling advertising and the subsequent stock price. And the occasional "star" cares about the next renegotiation of his/her contract. War is good business, scandal is good business. You are projecting your own bias... we're all guilty of that. But in the end the <news> media wants controversy, because more people watch, and eyeballs mean revenue. Saying these folks have a political agenda is silly. They are in it for the money; it's a profit center, not a crusade. They will stick it to any candidate with equal enthusiasm, given the chance for a ratings increase. John
