Instead of merely disagreeing with you, I would ask you to give me specific examples of "far" left programming on CNN, or the non cable networks. You have to ask? Consider CNN's Michael Ware's reports from Iraq, which are TOTALLY US-bashing. Or Amanpour. Same thing. And of course, the "pay-to-play" reporting from Baghdad years ago. But nothing, NOTHING ranks with these networks (all the ones you mentioned) failure to investigate Obama during the last campaign. There are volumes of coverage on this subject available today. How about the infamous NYT hardball question, "What enchants you", which allowed Obama to burn 1/7 of an entire news conference on a question which has NO RELEVANCE whatsoever. What about Matthews "Tingle up his leg"? What about the bashing of Palin's daughter? This is something that would absolutely not have been tolerated were someone attacking a liberal's daughter for getting pregnant. This is really a stupid remark on your part. There is no meaningful debate on this subject. Google it and you will find report after report, study after study concluding there is a heavy left wing media bias. But honestly, anyone who can't see it just from watching a little TV is just not trying. Finally, you could read Bernie Goldberg's books on the subject, were you interested in knowing the truth. The sad reality is that you are to f*cking ignorant to know you're being propagandized by the media. And let's not even talk about AM radio, and now FM as well...there are literally round the clock national and regional distorted bashing of liberals, democrats, the president, his cabinet and anyone associated with anything that is not GOP. I listen routinely to Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, and others on AM/FM/XM who do precisely the same thing as Rush Limbaugh does, but with an extreme leftward bias. It is a wash, other than the fact that Limbaugh and Hannity are far better at it, and as a result, have bigger audiences.

Al, Instead of merely disagreeing with you, I would ask you to give me specific examples of "far" left programming on CNN, or the non cable networks. I would call CNN the mainstream left, not far left, but still left and not center. Their prime time (Brown, Larry King, Cooper) are all left wing people. MSNBC prime time is even further left. Over the air news division are all uniformly left, I guess somewhere in the middle of the spectrum between CNN and MSNBC. But I don't watch the non-cable news. It is nearly useles. Joe
