This just doesn't make sense to me. This isn't China where you only have one option as to where you get your news. That is biased media. This is a supply and demand economy. There were like ten TV options to watch election coverage on and thousands of internet options to get your election coverage from. If people didn't like the supposed liberal bias on a network then people would switch to another network! Ultimately supply and demand dictates what is covered and how it is covered. And this year the demand was to focus on the issues and less on the Jeremiah Wright's and Bill Ayer's that were so emphasized by the Republicans. If the demand was for more of that then the public would have switched their news source!

IF this were true, then why are the Libs going all out for the Fairness Doctrine to be resumed again?....because they want to silence opposing views!

Are you out of your mind? If this supposed liberal bias in the media is so real then wouldn't the Fairness Doctrine be the greatest thing for conservatives?

You've heard of Air America and the other liberal programs? Libs want everybody to PAY for their nonsense on the airwaves. Conservatives support
the voices they respect. Remember Al Franken going broke...nobody would pay for the trash he put out.

I don't know if I should say, I joined the Army out of High School, and ended up doing 21 years. Of course I was only in the Second best Military
