Nope. What I'm seeing on the tube is an attempt to support one style
of statism, one that is compatible with what calls it's self "left" or
"liberal".
You are seeing what you want to see, nothing more or less.

81 percent of the journalists interviewed voted for the Democratic
presidential candidate in every election between 1964 and 1976.
In the Democratic landslide of 1964, 94 percent of the press surveyed
voted for President Lyndon Johnson (D) over Senator Barry Goldwater (R).
In 1968, 86 percent of the press surveyed voted for Democrat Senator
Hubert Humphrey.
In 1972, when 62 percent of the electorate chose President Richard
Nixon, 81 percent of the media elite voted for liberal Democratic
Senator George McGovern.
In 1976, the Democratic nominee, Jimmy Carter, captured the allegiance
of 81 percent of the reporters surveyed while a mere
19 percent cast their ballots for President Gerald Ford.
Over the 16-year period, the Republican candidate always received less
than 20 percent of the media’s vote.

Google on ' reporters +"89 percent" +democrats '
If you did that Google search, you'd find that 89% of the reporters
polled voted for Gore.
You going to say that the news media is "right wing"? That's saying
the Democrats are "right wing".
You also
follow in the normal right wing line, if one is not right wing, he
must be left wing, there is no middle of the road.
Nope. I think most people are not any kind of wing.
You might get that idea from what I've said, but usually when I say
"left wing", I mean people mostly like the "BT Baby", potty mouth
radicals. That's about 1%, at most, of the population.
Sometimes, when I say "Right wing", I'm quoting that 1% (the BT Baby
potty mouth radicals) and THEY mean anyone they disagree with (about
99% of the population, about half of which run from being a little
left of center, to far left of Karl Marx).
You say "normal right wing line", how much of the population do YOU
consider right or left wing?
I'm sorry, but I
vote for the party that will do me the LEAST harm, and that is never
the right wing. I don't worry about the whims and wheedles of the
people with six or more figure incomes, or about the corporations,
they pay people to do the worrying for them.
Take a look at this:

(Damned chart is made for a super wide screen.)
Notice that more of the bigger donations go to the Democrats. That's
not money coming from blue collars.
I think he is doing wrong things, but what I think he is doing wrong
is not what the "liberals" say he is doing wrong. As a result, I often
appear to be a supporter of his.
And again, "Disagree with the GWeeB and you're a liberal." Either
suck his ass daily or be called liberal.
READ WHAT I WROTE, DUMBASS.
What especially irks me is people criticising Bush for things that
Clinton did more of,
It doesn't bother you that the GWeeB has taken a huge budget surplus
and turned it into a debt that will take many generations to pay off?
Did I address that? Might this be one of the things I do not regard as
slanted criticism?
the president should never be
off the hotseat, doesn't matter which party he belongs to.
This is the only part I agree fully with. The press goes easy on
Democrats, though.
Laws are supposed to be made by congress, not the president,
Does "Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Pretty cool." ring any
bells? Did you object when that asshole Clinton went crazy with his
Executive Orders?

and especially one that is not legally in the office.
And, of the many recounts that the press did after the election was
called, how many had Gore winning?
ONE. The conditions we anything that *might* have been in favor of
Gore was counted, and anything in Bush's favor that could be
questioned was tossed.
IF he's lying, and the GWeeB has no other way of life,
As opposed to Clinton and Gore? Did you criticise either when they got
caught in their lies?
If your did not, you are biased.
