Are you upset with the right-wing tilt of cable news

Poll question: Are you upset with the right-wing tilt of cable news

It's the middle of the night, so here goes:
Despite freeper cries to the contrary, about 80% of TV news anchors, hosts, and reporters lean to the right, not the left.
How about some opinions from you intelligent DUers out there?
Vote for your "worstest of the worst" of those supposedly upstanding professional "journalists" whom you watch with seething rage as their lies, prejudices, and GOP talking points spew forth. For the record my top 5 "worstest" are:
(1) Sean Hannity/Fox (his days are numbered/he'll never be Rush II)
(2) Kira Phillips/CNN (Is it blatant one-sidedness or eye makeup?)
(3) John Gibson/Fox (Just an asshole, period)
(4) Brian Kilmeade/Fox (a combative smartass asshole)
(5) Bill O'Reilly/Fox (no explanation necessary)

1. Oops - I left out Wolf Blitzer!

And maybe we should add Norah O'Donnell and Chris Wallace too.

3. (Smacking head a la "I cudda had a V-8")

I was on to Kagan a year or so ago, and I've managed to avoid CNN-morning. You know, CNN started turning to the right when she was given a higher profile. Must be Rush's magic.

7. I don't watch the Faux chatter class so I voted for Tucker

Paula Zahn and Rita Cosby would be a close second.

8. Cable news lost me to the Internet.

Sorry, corporate TeeVee whores. You'll never get me back until you actually show the truth rather than rightwing propaganda 24/7.

9. I've never understood

I've never understood the whole "liberal media" mantra. The corporate news media obviously favors the right. The only thing I can figure is that the people who call it the liberal media are in fact media illiterates. I wonder how many of them actually read newspapers or even watch the news.

So where is this demonic liberal media with its counter-American agenda? I'd say the so-called liberal media is just another mythical beast invented and catapulted by right-wing propagandists. But where is the actual evidence in the mainstream media that seals the faith of believers? The only thing I can figure is they must be referring to shows like "Will and Grace", "Dharma and Greg", and commercials that use sexual ambiguity to disturb the psyche for marketing purposes.

Maybe they figure we're just idiots and get our politics from entertainment.

It IS weird though.
