Sentiment is strong: 83 percent of likely voters think bias is "alive and well." Of that number, 64 percent said the press leans left, while slightly more than a quarter -- 28 percent -- said there was a conservative bias.
Its nice to see that a majority of Americans think their is a liberal bias...but that still doesn't change the fact that the bias hurts the country.
They print pictures of ANWAR that are not of the area where the drilling will take place.
They make sure the Iraq war is only covered in a negative light. There is a lot of evidence that the small "surge" that we have started is working, yet I see one story in the USA today on page 5.
The misreporting of many issues to fit the liberal template hurts the country. Over time is does affect public perception.
How the hell can the American people think the economy has been bad ever since 2001? Its the way the media spins every story, the way they under report the good news.
It happens in many cases, and I have shown a small percentage of all the bias.
Feel free to add your two cents.

Thank goodness we have Fox News, WorldNet Daily, and NewsMax to even the scales!
no Jim, two sources that openly admit they focus on conservative issues and one that looks conservative because it looks out of place standing next to the rest of the media that is slanted left does not fix anything
Sure, sure.
Nice OPINION PIECES there, Jim. Those that appear to be news stories are commentaries too, I believe. In any case, to say that Fox has a center right lean ain't no newsflash. But you'll need to report only on straight news stories to support your case, not opinion pieces.
Man are you sad Jim.
You would have to see the video clips to see why those things were on the screen. Since you must not watch Fox as all, I'll educate you.
When they talk to guests, they usually put their points up on the screen. See Jim, that is what makes them fair and balanced. The fact that they bring on people from BOTH sides and offer BOTH sides. It looks different to you because you only watch things that present your liberal adjenda.
Ya see, that's the whole problem, Marshall. Jim and his kind don't know the difference between op-ed and hard news, because the main stream media has been blurring the lines for so long.
CBS, et, al can editorialize, and call it hard news, while the likes of Jim confuse editorials on Fox with hard news. There is no doubt, hands down, Fox's hard news shows are the most balanced on TV. That's why when organizations try to paint Fox as right-biased they always use Hannity or O'Reilly as examples. They've herded the sheep for so long, they're banking on the Jim's of the world not to know the difference.
The examples are endless. Whole organizations make their living documenting the bias in news. Take a gander sometime, Jim, if you have the courage and a little clear focus. You'll see the unending examples of bias in so called hard news shows of the alphabet media, while the examples the left use to tarnish Fox come from op-ed shows.
"How the hell can the American people think the economy has been bad ever since 2001?"
This really is astonishing, with unemployment at all time lows, and the GDP growing the size of Canada since the Bush tax cuts passed.
I remembering listening to Limbaugh a few months ago-- he presented polling data where most people thought they were doing pretty good, but their estimates of how things were going diminished when people saw themselves as a group. The media has convinced people their neighbors are doing awful, even though they may be a loss to find someone who fits the description in real life.
ALONG THE DARKENED MEWS
"King Midas in reverse" it is,
"Incompetent machismo,"
But what´s the use in all of this?
The press is like a gizmo.
Today, instead of news, it tells
Whatever the agenda;
Tomorrow, turned to something else,
The past becomes addenda.
Mostly the frontpage headline boasts
Some story about baseball--
Vivid detailing sportsmen´s jousts
Or who got the first place ball:
Neglected is what´s going on
Of which impact be felt,
Sure death to circulation´s run
As squoze by Bible belt.
Alas, it was our Uncle Ben
Who found in advertisement
Just profit--times have changed since then,
A subject for advisement:
Now advertisers dictate news;
While facts and such things scuttle
Like rats along the darkened mews
Which offer no rebuttal.
