"but they are professional JOURNALISTS" no such thing, that ended when Walter Cronkite was hired "The BEST at this is NPR and PBS, which the truth-hating right wants to kill. Wonder WHY?" I personally know a bunch of these people, they are biased as hell, they have an agenda

I'll give you MSNBC, they've obviously decided to be the anti-Fox "News". Both have clear biases they wear on their sleeves. But, as to all the others, no. To be clear, the extent of the extreme leftwing bias on MSNBC is in no way comparable to the very mild center-right bias of FNC. There is simply no comparison. MSNBC doesn't have moderates -- period. Yet FNC has both O'Reilly (center-right) and Gretta (center-left) in prime time. Plus, FNC has Beck and Stossel who are libertarians. Meet the Press this week had ALL liberals on its panel. This is supposed to be one of the most balanced news shows on TV (probably was when Russert ran it). Yet, you had not one conservative voice and three extreme liberal ones. ABC is the same save for Geo. Will, who is a token Republican and has become very moderate lately. The individual reporters may be liberals, they may be conservative, but they are professional JOURNALISTS. As journalists, they work to suppress any bias, and deliver reporting as close to the TRUTH as they can get it. Unfortunately, it doesn't work this way and the result is a lot of brainwashed leftwingers like yourselves. The BEST at this is NPR and PBS, which the truth-hating right wants to kill. Wonder WHY? LOL. You mean the guys that fired Juan Williams who is a merely moderate liberal, while keeping Totenberg for far more egregious conduct because she's a liberal? That the PBS you're talking about? YOU DO REALIZE THAT PBS IS THE HOME OF THE BILL MOYERS "HATE AMERICA FIRST" SHOW?
