Well lets take some stats from the most hated liberal, Michael Moore, and his new book "Dude, wheres my country?"(which is way too short, i read in about four hours dammit).

He has however well sourced his work this time.

"The US media watchdog FAIR studied the evening newscasts of six US television networks and news channels for three weeks, starting on March 20 - the day after the U.S. bombing of Iraq began. The study examined the affliations and views of more than 1600 sources who appeared on-camera in stories about Iraq. The results were hardly a surprise:

Viewers were more than 25 times a likely to see a pro-war U.S. source than someone with an anti war point of view.
Military sources were featured twice as frequently as civillians
Only 4% of sources appearing during the three weeks were afflilliated with universities, think tanks or NGO's.
Of a total of 840 U.S. sources who were current or former government or military officials, only four were identified as being opposed to the war."


Now that includes all those stations you would label as liberal. So what the hell must Fox have been like? The US media is in the pockets of this administration. At least while it looks liek Bush will win the next election. If this turns around they will be on the Democrat wagon to try and corrupt their candidates to their views with untold campaign donations.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
