I don't know what grass you've been smoking... but, can I have some?

That single page has about 400 surveys on it, did you go find the single survey that wasn't worded the same as the opening paragraph on the page? Wouldn't surprise me, word twisting is generally how folks like you have to prove a point..

Come on, say it again.. nothing on that page states that the media is biased LIBERALLY does it?

Here, I'll help you out.. Instead of stopping on the section that you think makes your dillusional point for you.. keep reading on to the section entitled: "Most Americans View Bias as Liberal - OVERVIEW"

Who's retarded now?

Try this:

Step 1: Read the second paragraph on that site.

Now, in this paragraph, and I quote:

Misdirected thesis of the media

Conservatives believe the mass media, predominantly television news programs, slant reports in favor of the liberal position on issues. Most Americans agree, as the data below indicate

There. Conservatives believe the media is liberally biased. And the majority of Americans agree.

Step 2: Click on the link.

Now read the five key findings from the 1997 Pew Report, and follow along with me:

1) This states people feel the media is biased. Not liberally, mind.
2) See above.
3) The site pretends this actually means something.
4) See #1
5) Well the media must be 3% biased. Again, this means nothing.

Now, let's move on to "Other Key Findings"

1) This chart states people feel the media is biased. Not liberally, mind.
2) See above.
3) See above.
4) See above.

Now, this "Most Americans View Bias as Liberal" section.

I would like to see the demographic for the 3,000 person poll that was supposedly conducted. I went to the Center for Media and Public Affairs website and could not find a link to any such study.

And "Most Recent Data: by 3-to-1 Americans Think Media Too Liberal"

Demographics are really quite nice.

And that's how people think.

Crimson, do you believe Republican representation in the government outnumbers Democrat representation by 41 to 10?

And by the way, many more Americans are Republican rather than Democrat, they just don't vote nearly as much.

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)

"The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)
