Conservatives talk about how "accurate" The O'Reilly Factor is. Liberals
talk about how "accurate" NPR is.
The reality is that mainstream media is centrist with a bias against those
in power. There is a financial incentive for this. There is simply nothing
very interesting about saying "Bush is doing a fine job" (or before that
Clinton). It's much more interesting to run stories that call into question
Bush's leadership or Clinton's morality.
There is nothing more pointless than liberals and converatives arguing media
bias.

Against my better judgment, I'm taking the bait here. I listen to ABC news
on the radio every day. It is loaded with Liberal drivel like lightly
veiled attacks on Republicans and Republican policy, precisely timed
reports of biased poling results*, unscientific environmental
proclamations and a lack of reporting news that doesn't support Liberal
ideology. I feel like puking every hour, on the hour.
As for the "no spin zone". Fox's The O'Reilly factor is the best political
news show on TV, bar none, ever. You have to check it out if you have not
seen it. He really shines during political crisis. His show, last night,
was intense and brilliant.

*The latest being the anti-tax cut survey let out at exactly the time the
Republicans suggested increasing the tax cut. I would like to see the
wording of that survey.
