That's BS Bingo and you know it. You really mean to tell me that, in light of the countless times we've talked about media bias on this board, you wanted to bring up a media bias story and confine it just to discussions on CBS and Dan Rather? Yawn. I don't buy it.
Unfortunately, the manner in which you delivered this thread places it squarely with in the context of our previous discussions on the subject. The fact that it's a story about media bias ALONE places it amongs the context of our previous discussions on the subject. Especially when your subject tagline is "shouldn't come as a shock".
So drop the whining about the "context being broadened". It's not being broadened. It was already there when you posted it and if you honestly didn't think such a topic would broach our previous discussions, then I have to ask if you forgot your coffee this morning.

You're an angry guy aren't you?
BS?
Yawn?
Stop the whining?
Yikes ... want to meet at the bike racks and settle this thing?
It is a broadening in my mind, though I guess you can feel free to tell me what I was thinking if you disagree.
Lanny doesn't agree that there's a left lean to the media, and this was a link to a guy within one of those refuted sources admitting it. Period. I didn't make a blanket statement that I've proven the bias exists in all media elite or that I solved the meaning of life.
If that was expected then I think said expectations are a little much.
Beyond that, I've made it clear on this topic numerous times that I don't think the issue is non mainstream media. There are plenty of voices on both sides off the beaten track that really don't have a huge say in what Joe Average is digesting on a daily basis.
That was always my scope ... elite media. Bringing up hate radio just doesn't fit into the mix. If he wants to argue looney extreme media he's picked the wrong guy because I'm not a fan of either side.
