Typical red herring. I called no one a moron. > Why >not just call them that? And I guess you better tell that to the 20 or so >million people that listen to Rush Limbaugh.

My point exactly, and significant number of listeners do not have the knowledge necessary to make an informed decision, so they sprout whatever rhetoric Rush and rest throw at them. And the liberals are as bad as the conservatives, so don't paint me with a particular ideology because you won't even get close. > Just as it is up to >someone reading something online, or in the newspaper, to consider the >source of the information.

You won't find me defending corporate media as unbiased, but their bias doesn't approach the overwhelming lack of fairness by the commentators. And wonder if you would be attacking the Times if they leaned to the right. Perhaps you are a bit biased yourself. >People like Hannity and Limbaugh are no more devisive than most liberal >Democrats, who preach class warfare every chance they get. I mean, how many >times can Tom Daschle say "wealthiest 1%"? My point is that opinion should be labeled as opinion regardless of the source. If bias is wrong for the left, it's wrong for the right. If it's wrong for NY Times, it is wrong for Hannity, unless it is clearly defined as opinion. If you want to listen to one who has it right, listen to Neal Boortz. He clearly states, frequently, that what he says is opinion, and not to believe anything you don't check out for yourself.
