"The vast majority of American voters believe media bias is alive and well – 83% of likely voters said the media is biased in one direction or another…Nearly two-thirds of those online respondents who detected bias in the media (64%) said the media leans left, while slightly more than a quarter of respondents (28%) said they see a conservative bias on their TV sets and in their column inches."

--Results of a IPDI/Zogby Interactive poll.

BONUS QUOTE: "26% speculated that the reason news organizations are placing blogs on their Web sites is that 'blogs give news organizations a chance to promote a political agenda they could not promote in their regular broadcasts, cablecasts, or publications.'"
