Naw. Paul, I'm not getting at bias. I do think there's a bias on Amanpour's part, but that's only because she's doing her job. It's impossible to be unbiased when there's nothing but carnage and upheaval there. It would be rephrehensible for CNN to not show real footage of the situation.

But I find it doubtful that the whole report on him is "mdeia bias". Few if any major media reports on him are wholly media bias. They normally have a core of facts at their heart (except when they report the deaths of people who later turn up alive and well! <g>) What they are quite willing to do is slant their coverage to use facts to create something which looks quit different from the objective truth, whatever that is. As a lawyer, I know a lot about that (though of course I would never do it myself <bg>), so I tend to be adept in spotting it when others do it, though with the Clinton News Network it's not hard!
