A great program on 'On The Media' discussing bias in reporting Is NPR Biased Basically they hired a guy, from PEW I think, to analyze NPR's coverage in comparison to the media as a whole. The transcript will be available tomorrow and I am sure there will be some interesting direct quotes but...

The Right is complaining that (a) the media is left-wing, and (b) that Obama is "getting away with murder" -- that is, the media isn't "going after" his association with Bill Ayers and similar unsavory characters, which would have buried any Republican. Presuming -- for the sake of the argument...

When nutjob Michelle Malkin is honored for journalistic accuracy, that's the day that white is black, up is down, dogs are breeding with cats, and Edward R Murrow spins in his grave like a whirling dervish. Journalism ala Malkin is discussed in this recent thread.

A good question to all of the people on the forums. I know there has been derailing of threads on this issue, so I decided what the he**, lets get a solid debate right here instead of a tepid thread derail debate. I honestly think that the media is Conservatively Biased at the moment. I...
