Alright, then, more specifically, how did the media smear bush during the 2006 congressional elections? I watched MSNBC and FOX On MSNBC, Olberman clearly leaned to the left, but he's not taken seriously. His show is halfway between the Daily Show and a real news show. Occasionally, Chris Matthews leaned to the right, but he balanced it out with his personal disgust with the president's policies. However, FNC indisputably leaned far to the right. You have Hannity and Colmes, where you have a strong conservative against a moderate. You have the O'Reilly Factor, which leans extremely right. Fair and balanced my ass. Special Report with Brit Hume is the only moderately middle-of-the-road show on the whole channel, and even that has clear right leanings.
However, if we branch into different media, you'll find a liberal bias on the internet, a conservative bias on the radio, and little to no bias in the mainstream print media (Washington Post, New York Times). However, if you count the extremes in print, they cancel eachother out (thenation, new york post, washington times).
Then again, the nation is no where near as extreme the New York Post (accused Bill and Hillary of murdering a business partner for MONTHS?!) or the Washington Times(Run by a cult leader who declared himself the second coming of the Messiah and has said on record that he would sentence all gays to death).
If you'd like to point me to specific liberal bias in the media (Media Research Center's CyberAlerts are intellectually dishonest and untrustworthy (they pick and choose facts etc.)), I'd be eager to investigate it.
EDIT: By the way, don't take any of this personally. The fact that our political views differ shouldn't be taken personally, not saying that you are doing so. =)
