2. yup
of course, they're always looking for Liberal Bias anywhere. I mean there's a freakin site called conservativeunderground.com as if conservatives have to hide in fear to express their opinions.

3. I know they do
they truly believe the only refuge they have from the liberal press is FOX. There is simply no discussing it with them. The world is against them, against Bush, end of story.

11. The world IS against them and Bush.
Its just that our country is too riddled with for most of the people to realize it.

7. some still think CNN stands for the Clinton News Network, and hate CBS!!!
Listening to Dennis Prager spout his right-wing rhetoric on Larry King as I type. Aaron Brown was outright indignant last night at his guest George Soros for having the audacity to call Bush a "liar". Brown even called Soros "malevolent" to his face.

I am sure Freepers hate Jon Stewart, too, but if they hang around, they can get enough liberal bashing from Colin Quinn :dunce:, the unfunny comedian, who follows in the next half hour to make their day.

9. They are upset that the meida doesn't show Bush as he truly is
Jesus' best friend, and the last son of Krypton.

Also, they are upset that the media doesn't show Iraq as Bush describes it. Of course, to do so would be impossible, seeing as it is all a lie.

10. They actually are deluded into thinking that the media is "liberal"
Which is so far from the truth that it's staggering.

When Sumner Redstone, head of Viacom (owns CBS), who describes himself as a "liberal Democrat," says that he's voting for * because * is "good for Viacom," how bleeping liberal can the media be?

The conglomerates that own the media outlets are also involved in defense contracting (NBC, owned by GE, for one) and there's big money in war profiteering.

I have never seen such pro-administration bias on all the networks and cable outlets as I have during this election cycle.

12. Of course, that's how they have driven it so far right.
They have hammered it as a matter of form.

13.  media is "liberal" yet so many pundits say Bush will win the debates
It is so hard to hear anything positive in the media about Kerry. Pundits are using the "flip-flop" mantra more than Bush/Cheney do.

Of course, everyone from Scott McClellan on down to the Bush minions in the media have lowered Bush expectations and tout Kerry's great debating skills. Hell today, they are questioning whether Kerry got his tan from outdoor rallies or from a tanning bed....and here we have thousands dying in Iraq and they are bringing up "faked-baked"!

Nobody ever questions Bush's complexion, or his phony rodeo trophy belt buckle, his drugstore cowboy boots.

What matters more than who REALLY does best tomorrow night is how the debates will be spinned by the media for the following 48 hours, IOW the media will tell America who "won!"

14. Do a search on Keith Olbermann and the Media Research Council
they "cite" him almost daily. They hate him with a passion--almost as much as they hate Dan Rather and Helen Thomas!
