I've seen liberal bias with my own eyes on a daily basis. I could pick up certain papers or watch some specific news stations and write down many examples. There are times when the media swings to the conservative side like right after 9-11. Then the whole media was dripping in conservative goodness (out of fear mostly I guess).

Arguments of this type don't really serve any purpose; it's a He-Said, She-said situation. I would personally rather have a liberal media expressing their Freedom of Speech rights than to have a state-controlled media spouting political propaganda.

I've always thought the American media is a little on the conservative side, myself, but that may just be the hippie in me.

Actually, I mostly just find the American media to be wishywashy. For every real news story reported, there are 10 stories of kitties rescued from trees. This used to be the kind of nonsense the local news would report because, realistically, it's hard to fill half an hour with real local news.

I've always found the American media to be completely Amero-centric. Unless it directly affects us, we don't report it. I remember being in London several years ago and the top story in the news was these ex-slaves from South Africa roaming around, killing white farmers. I remember thinking this news was never reported in the US.

I've resorted to TiVo-ing BBC World every morning and watching that while the gf is getting dressed. I'm still amazed that the headlines on BBC are almost never seen on CNN...
