Gonzo, you're a very level headed individual, at least in my view.
All media is biased. Have you ever watched PBS? (don't know if you get it in Canada). Have you ever listened to NPR? New York Times? Washington Post? NewsDay in New York? New York One News?
Do not make assumptions based solely on CNN, Fox and a few other major networks.

All media is biased, though they say they arent (fox slogan "fair and balanced"). Not much has changed since William Randolph Hearst.
We get PBS, CNN, FOX ect in Canada. I believe that the media should always ask tough questions regardless of who is in power. When your country goes to war, it should be clear what your soldiers are fighting for. It's the job of the media to ask these things. I dont think they did leading up to the Iraq war. The reasons were so blurred that many Americans thought Iraq had something to do wit the 9/11 tragedy.
I admit that I dont read American newspapers, so my opinion is based only on t.v. news like fox and cnn. But those are major news sources.

New York Times? Washington Post?
All that those idiots did was to stir up war hysteria by repeatedly pretending that Saddam had WMD. It took forever for those traitors to finally relent and to admit that their lies were baseless.
Their treason shows reich wing media bias.

I guess it is about freedom
, you know, just the fact that US officials invest more money in a blow job( monica lewinsky affair) than 9-11,that gives you idea of US Priority, and at the same time, stupidity.
Quoting
I always found that funny about your country. Bill Clinton was a bad husband and they try to impeach him because he lied about a personal matter. Yet George Bush is a bad President and nothing happens. Bush lies about everything and that’s okay. Yeah, the media in the States is biased all right, against the democrats.

The media almost completely avoids mention of Iraqi deaths, or at least the estimated body count.
Oh yeah, the news media is so terribly biased, yeah right. All it did was to attack Clinton like friggin hell for his one personal indiscretion which hurt nobody. But that same media is ever so forgiving and so willing to look the other way rather than to criticize Bush for his endless lies. Clinton's lie hurt nobody - Bush's lies killed thousands of Americans.

I would have to agree with Gonzo. Who owns the papers. When the US media gets the interview, it is all fluff questions.
1) "Hows the wife?"
Ans: " She's, She's doing well, working with people and for the people when she get a chance. She's a great humanitarian and mother!
2) "Do you feel you have accomplished your goals?"
Ans: "Of F'n course you a-hole, thanks now I have to go pick bird-shot out of Chaney's Lawyer friends face, what's his name?"
thank you,
