Lumpy my communist friend.
Here is an article that describes the liberal media:
A recent Freedom Forum poll of journalists revealed that 89 percent of Washington reporters voted for Clinton in the 1992 presidential election, along with 60 percent of newspaper editors across the country. Yet only 43 percent of voting Americans did so.
These figures would seem to support the wide-spread and long-standing complaint that the media are far more liberal than the rest of the country.
Some other revealing findings:
? Only 2 percent of reporters and 6 percent of editors described themselves as conservatives, while 22 percent of reporters described themselves as liberals.
? Those who saw themselves as liberal or moderate-to-liberal totaled 61 percent of reporters and 32 percent of editors.
? Only 9 percent of reporters and 25 percent of editors described themselves as conservative or moderate-to-conservative.
? One-half of Washington reporters and 31 percent of editors identified themselves as Democrats, contrasted to 4 percent of reporters and 14 percent of editors who said they were Republicans.
Just one example of how this orientation manifested itself: 3 percent of reporters called the Contract With America a serious reform; almost 60 percent called it an election year campaign ploy.
More disturbing is the fact that apparently reporters do not see themselves as “reporters.” Ninety-six percent of reporters polled saw their role as that of “educating” the public. Sixty-two percent saw their role as “sometimes to suggest potential solutions to social problems,” yet 88 percent still described themselves as objective reporters.
Such press establishment bias leaves little mystery as to why presidential candidate Steve Forbes and the flat-tax received such negative coverage during the primaries, according to media analysts. Forbes press coverage was 66 percent negative and the flat-tax plan was covered in a negative manner 62 percent of the time.

Now I have found articles that try to discount this due to a small sample number, but even a small sample can be accurate. The larger the sample the more accurate of course, but I think this is accurate enough.
As far as news radio, sorry but it is an alternative media. Mainstream is TV, and most people who listen to the radio listen to music. Then there are sports, and regular news. How many people do you know who have ever tuned their radio to AM?
I realize you fall for this “myth” idea, but it is not. Though it is more conservative then it was. How many conservative movies have you seen recently? Every time I see a TV or movie, I notice that if they have any beliefs they are often liberal.
And I don’t care where you’re site is located, many of it’s links are to “news” sources outside of America. Plus his little Anti-American (A word you still don’t understand,) bias before every link.
And PNAC. Gee, I am sorry I didn’t read the entire site. I generally don’t go to opinion sites, and when I do they are often the liberal sites. I have looked through it a little, and never ran into the word. I decided to see how often it occurred there and ran a search through google limiting my search to that site only. It came up with 2 pages. That is 2. Only 2. In fact here is one of the quotes:
“In London, where Tony Blair has to go to work every day, one finds Britain’s finest minds propounding, in sophisticated language and melodious Oxbridge accents, the conspiracy theories of Pat Buchanan concerning the ‘neoconservative’ (read: Jewish) hijacking of American foreign policy.”
This is the only mention on that page. I thought you were trying to say it was all over that website, not in two obscure pages. Oh yeah, the other was about how the term neoconservative is being used negatively as an attack word.
Obviously you don’t understand what a corporation is. You assuming that all corporations are conservative is ludicrous. (And not the rapper.) practically all business is a corporation. I can almost guarantee that Biotest is a corperation. Are they a conservative organization? I don’t think so.
And as far as oil, terrorists have blown up the pipeline on September 8. (And this wasn’t the first time.) Rebuilding Iraq is not an overnight thing. I expect to be there a year from now with some progress, while you will be complaining that everyone said we would be out by then. Germany took over 10 years, why should Iraq take a month or two? You do care about these people don’t you? I thought that is why you were arguing about this. Do you think we should just leave them to rot?
