I'm slightly suspicious of the whole 'liberal media bias' thing, partly because we hear about it in UK yet a large number of our news sources are owned by Rupert Murdoch, a right-leaning libertarian. Figure that one out if you will.
That doesn't surprise me at all. And I agree with you that that is the sort of thing that will ruin this country. Hopefully some body will stand up to them before they establish something like that.
