I wish people would stop spouting this stuff like it's actually true. Just because everybody says it, doesn't make it so. watch some cnn for a while and come back with just how liberal it is.
yep

anything can be thought of as biased. are biologists biased for evolution or are they making the most correct decision based on all the evidence, are missles biased towards speed accuracy penetration and explosion or are they required to have those attributes in order to be successful?

it could simply just be that the most correct political policies are found on the liberal side, yet that does not mean that the media that espouses those policies is biased.

besides, media is mostly wrong anyways. the more i learn about govt's roll in politics throughout history the more i learn that they most often were able to keep the truth out of the populous, and thus the popular debate was about the wrong stuff.

fwiw, i am not liberal. i am merely new to liberal politics, and i am 100% against neo-republicans because they achieve the opposite of that which they say they will. for example, fiscal conservativism. yea, how many people are republicans because they want fiscal responsibility, and how much worse at fiscal responsibility are republicans than democrats?

also, the parties' policies have changed a bunch over the years. for example, repubs like to point out that lincoln was a repub. well yea he was but at that time repubs were the liberal party.
