When Cindy Sheehan and about 20 others protested outside President Bush's house every "news" station in the country covered it.

On Jan. 22 Over 100,000 abortion opponents protested in Washington DC (the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade) and it wasn't even mentioned AT all by the mainstream media.

How is it possible that they so blatantly decide what to show us as "news" and yet the left still believes that there is no media bias towards liberals?
 
This would be a reason I don't pay too much attention to the mainstream media that is owned by corporations. So it is corporate management that is really making the decision. It is evened out. It's all about what is going to attract the biggest audience. It comes down to money. They are a business first. Welcome to Capitalism.

NPR is very liberal. If you want liberal news then turn to NPR.

I like NPR because it's intelligent. I do keep in mind that it's very liberal.

Bottom line: Critical thinking is essential.
