We agree that the "news" is failing miserably. The story choice of the big five liberal TV media seems to be slanted to hurt Republicans. As our moderator stated, news used to be news. In a news story I expect facts, not opinions. The House of Reps is median to a little liberal of voters in the last election. wasn't the Presidential vote more like 51% to 43%? that would be an 8% swing as opposed to the closer H of R 6% swing. If there is distortion caused by gerrymandering, it cuts both ways, but should be stopped). No person with an ounce of skepticism believes any study says more than it does. In retrospect, I admit to reading more into the voting preference studies than they actually say. I did several searches a few months ago on lexusnexus and found labeling results consistent with expectations set after reviewing MRC documentation. Recorded media appeared to label people they perceived to be conservatives much more often than they labeled liberals. Another question why to the liberal biased media refer to moderate Republicans and conservative Democrats? It seems people like McCain's should be labels liberal Republican and people like Lieberman could be labeled moderate Democrat.
