Bias works both ways and is equally ignorant in my opinion. There are many outrageously right wing outlets who are just as biased. Either way they show an inability to be independent thinkers and are simply mouthpieces and propaganda pushers. The adherents of either side constantly complain about the bias of the other, but fail to acknowledge the equal level of bias in their outlet of choice.
Tstew...yes, bias works both ways. But unless you've been living under a rock the past 20 years or so, you might have noticed that the majority of the so-called "mainstream" media has a liberal bias; sometimes it's a latent bias, often it's quite blatant... but it's clearly there.
If you seriously think that's not the case, maybe you havent been paying attention. Or maybe you have your own bias that prevents you from seeing it.

This could end up firing up the Conservative base, and blowing up in the Liberals' faces.
One can only hope.

I know that just the appointment of Governor Palin got me fired up! It is hard to get excited about McCain although he is much better than the alternative.
Palin however is exciting! A woman who proves you can be feminine, attractive, and be tough, smart, and a good executive.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
Quote from Ethel Goss (widow of 1st UPC Gen Supt. Howard Goss) book "The Winds of God"

So true.
There are some right wingers who are pretty far out just like there are some pretty far out left wingers.
Racism and Sexism are both alive and well.
Some racists will vote for Obama because he is partially African American
and some racists will vote against him because he is partially African American. I guess we can't really call him African American because he is as much Caucasian as he is African American.
Some sexists will vote for a woman because she is a woman and some sexists will vote against a woman because she is a woman.

My wife just loves Governor Palin. She says she can't wait to see her come up against Joe Biden.

Please name these right wing "outlets". I have a feeling you are going to refer to blogs, internet sites ,etc that are far from mainstream.
Liberal Democrats have the mainstream media in their pocket. We are talking the media outlest in TV and publishing that have tremendous impact and reach.
Conservatives have Fox News Channel for TV while Liberals have MSNBC, CNN, and the ABC, NBC, and CBS network news divisions.
Conservatives have The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Times while liberals have virtually all other major daily newspapers including The New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Boston, etc, etc, etc.
Between the mass media liberal bias and the 90% plus bias of liberals in Higher Education I am amazed that a Republican or Conservative has been elected to any office in the last 20 years.
Talk radio??????

Yes, that is just a part of our reality.
