According to Scientific American dated 26 September, 2008 they note that a study in 2005 by UCLA proves the existence of leftist bias. Here is there quote:

%u201CIn 2005 the Quarterly Journal of Economics invigorated the debate with a provocative study by Tim Groseclose, a political scientist at U.C.L.A., and Jeffrey Milyo, an economist at the University of Missouri%u2013Columbia. Groseclose and Milyo created a scale and assigned 20 major news outlets and legislators in Washington, D.C., positions based on their citations of think tanks and policy groups labeled liberal or conservative. They also factored in the voting records of House and Senate members. Their measure determined that most of the major media were left of center of the average legislator%u2014even the news pages of the Wall Street Journal were slightly left of the %u201Caverage Democrat.%u201D The exceptions were the Washington Times and Fox News%u2019s Special Report.%u201D

Lying to cover up the lie to cover up the lie that covered up the other lie is standard operating proceedure since Bush took office. They won''t talk issues but put on a great shell game instead and expect us to be amused... I don''t think so. You guys had 8 years to show us your s**t and totally blew it and now have the balls to think you deserve 4 more years to straighten out the mess you made. And you then choose a ding-a-ling as vice president for an old man who''s already gone through 4 bouts of cancer... it''s mind blowing how desperate you are to win that you''d risk our country like that. You shouldn''t even be allowed to call yoursleves Americans.

Finally someone prints the truth. Please follow this story up with a report on ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, the LA Times, the Boston Globe,and then a 5 part expose'' on Google...yes Google. Every day I go to Google click on News and then type Obama..it always lists several glowing accounts of our new messiah. Then I type in McCain and I find several stories (usually from obscure blogs or newspapers in Australia) which say that he has lost, call him an idiot, call him old. The Bias that Google shows would make a great investigative story.

Who didn''t know that the NYT is an active extension of the Obama campaign? It is their right to blast anyone they want to. I read the times and find some great material there. Of course ,I laugh at the political slant that is so obvious. That doesn''t keep me from enjoying the part that is just information. Sometimes you just have to sift through a lot of dirt to find a diamond.
