The Liberal News Media

[Pester, Rumormonger]

So, I'm always hearing at school about how everything that comes out of Bush's mouth is complete dribble and being a republican is about the same thing as being a fascist.
On the other hand, my father and Rush Limbaugh say that the news system is so ridiculously liberal that they'll twist anything that happens to make conservatives look like the bad guys.

The whole liberal media thing kind of explains the attitude I see at school. If you can't trust the news, then who can you trust?

On the other hand, Rush Limbaugh is Rush Limbaugh.

At this point in my life, I know not to take anything that anyone says about politics at face value- but now I want to hear it from you. Is the media really all that liberal? Are they right or wrong to be?

Well, yes, that's sort of obvious. The difference is (according to Dad etc..) that the conservative radio shows come right out and say they are conservative, while most news shows in general claim to be "unbiased" while actually being liberally biased.

That's why Fox News is "Fair and Balanced"
