I suppose the right cheers every time FOX lambastes someone from te "left" just like the left likes the NYT articles.

Objectively the media is predominantly left leaning...The Republican media is still a blip on the overall broadcasting radar.
It is easy to muddy the waters with subjective relativism and say they all do it, but this does not really get at the issue...It silences debate, surely, but it doesn't come to a solution to the problem.

Fair is fair, obviously....But lies and deception are not. The left-wing media has an obvious antagonistic posture to Republicans and Bush (as their representative). Bush being AWOL (despite it not being true and a manufacture of Michael Moore and Terry McAwful) got 8 times the coverage that the Swift Boat Veterans got...254 Swift Boat Veterans (eyewitnesses included) have called into question Kerry's war record...The media responds by ignoring the Swift Boat Vets and even attacking them (case in point Chris Matthews).
Every liberal that comes down the pike gets hoisted on the collective shoulders of the left...When Dick Clarke came out with his book he was their hero (he contradicted himself and never questioned about it)...When Joe Wilson came out with his book he was their hero (he was caught in several lies, again silence from the media)...When Sandy Bergler was caught committing felonies hiding information from the 9/11 Commission, all the media focused on was how there was "no connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda."
There was a connection between Saddam and Al Qaeda. Dick Clarke did contradict himself. Joe Wilson was caught lying. Sandy Bergler is emersed in scandal and he was Kerry's presumptive National Security Advisor.
Where are the war records John Kerry?...Nothing to see here, the Swift Boat Veterans received $150,000 from a Republican (who else would fund them?...a democrat?)...Kerry gets millions from Moveon.org/George Soros, Michael Moore and free advertising from the press...And the Swifties are scandalous?
