For all of you that deny there is a liberal bias to the "main stream" media, here is the first in a series of investigative reports on media matters.
http://dailycaller.com/2012/02/12/inside-media-matters-sources-memos-reveal-erratic-behavior-close-coordination-with-white-house-and-news-organizations/ - Inside Media Matters Some highlights, Media matters brags that their reports are routinely used by MSNBC and many others in print and television. Media matters meets weekly with white house staff, media matters has a 20 million dollar fund to influence media coverage of the next election. If this gains traction it will be very interesting. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died.

All media is biased. It is impossible not to be. Also remember media is in the business of making money, so it should be biased. Thats smart business. Marketing 101, you identify a target market and then you model your product to appeal to that market.
The only media that even has a shot of being unbaised is non profit media but it is still run by biased people and they also will most likely tend to lean to what the majority of their listeners want to hear. Im not picking a fight or dissagreeing Im just saying Im not surprised. The more suprising headline would be "media, unbiased". ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5792&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 |

| http://blogs.reuters.com/jackshafer/2012/02/15/media-madders/ - From Reuters, a fairly right-leaning news outlet, on this subject. |

I would not call Reuters "right leaning", but the article brings up some of my own concerns with the daily caller article. It was a very personal attack, reminiscent of Media matters own tactics. Although it is fun to see them get a taste of their own medicine, it also opens up the daily caller to be discredited the same as media matters has continually done to themselves. It still does not change some of the details revealed though. Time will tell what sticks. Media matters has proven that it does not take much of an accusation to take people down. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died.

The headline would read, "Obama does something good, accidentally". HAHA. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5792&sort=&pagenum=1" rel="nofollow - 1986 Ski Nautique 2001 |

You would work for CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, and if you worked for MSNBC you would repeat your story over and over and over and over. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4487" rel="nofollow - 1998 Ski Nautique |

It is funny how people assume others would do as they do. I would at least do my own work or site my source, ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats. 1987 Ski Nautique |

I don't need to work. We make more money by the government taking care of us. I am so glad I switched to democrat. Thank's Eric, you turned me on to the Obama benefits! ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4487" rel="nofollow - 1998 Ski Nautique |
