What Liberal media?
Sometimes i forget and have to remind myself that the large majority of conservatives arent inherently evil,just uninformed.Not to mention somewhat prejudiced and religiously zealous.The Republican Party should change their name to the Ignorant Party.(Remember, ignorant doesnt mean stupid,just unaware,so no insult)When the the entire media is right leaning it adds credibility to what they're saying. Despit the fact they're lying.I dont hate Christian values,i used to be one,but these people dont realize they're being duped because facts and truths are so deeply repressed,and muck is raked so easily.The Right wing screams about liberal bias because only a few channels hold Conservative affiliation,and thus they count EVERY other channel as left.The E! channel,Lifetime,and ESPN shouldnt count.(Also Alan Colmes isnt getting the job done representing Dems over there at FNC,but that's for another post).So what are we to do?Our own channel to help disect fact from mistruth?Who would fund it?Who would anchor the news shows?Who would host the talk shows?And can someone finally get Pauly Shore a real job?Someone has to start doing something,or the political blight were in right now may affect our next generations...

1. I see your point regarding...
...the channels that have a consevative affiliation and then counting every channel that is not conservative as left, but why would E, liftime, and ESPN not count?

2. cuz'
Because the right wing slant seems to follow every channel not affiliated wtih the right as liberal,i dont tune in to Bravo to get news.Nor do i tune into VH1 for intelligent political opinion.Not many people have realized non partisan program is indeed,non partisan programming.Sorry for any misunderstanding.That is the underlying point I'm trying to make,that because conservative theories arent embraced doesnt necassarily make them liberal ideals...

3. I don't think we should have a channel
...Becuase what FOX news does is against the philosiphy of Journalism and Ehtics.

If the left used the same tactics we would be no better than Fox.

Opinion pundit shows are one thing akin to an editoral page of a newspaper, and I embrace the Neo-Conservative Bush Whore's who do them becusae they show how much vitrol and hate they have for anybody whom disagree's with them.

Some jounalists are like vultures, as is the major media (Chris Matthews is one of the best oppurtunist out their).

When a politican or an ideology is getting weak, they pounce on them (although with Bush they are being careful, the President of one of the most powerfull and secretive executive branches we've had in a long time, willing to use it's power for short term gain no matter whom they destroy in the process i.e Embassader Wilson's Wife the CIA agent who's name was leaked by the ADministration to that whore Bob Novak).

No, I'd rather stick with the lefty pundits, DU, and using the oppurtunistic media to our advantage, than revert to FOX/Clear Channel tactics that shred the spirit of jounralism, ethics, the spirit of fairness and balanced, that ultimately lead to the dumbing down and tabloidization of our democratic republic by dumbing down it's people whom beleive the VITRIOL CRAP they spew under the pretext of journalism; When all they are (Hannity, NOVAK, O'Reilly, Rush, INgram, Coulter, Charlie Sykes, Mark Belling, Jeff Wagner, etc....) have become a bunch of ideologicaly blinded WHORES for the Bush Administration.

4. hmmmph
while it is true that most reporters/correspondents are democratic and are a bit left of center, they (for the most part) remain objective, however, MANY of the editors/owners/ect are right wingers... i saw something on cnn saying that during the war the only antiwar voice on national tv was a 10 second soundbite from Micheal Moore's oscar acceptance speech airing on the cbs evening news. sounds reeeeeally like a liberal media huh?
