Liberals love to complain and complain about Fox News, but mysteriously remain quiet when shown actual proof on how the media is so heavily leaned left, that it is just not funny anymore, it’s near criminal.  Using the Journolist, liberal “journalists” (and I say that lightly) and other liberal activists plot and scheme on how to manipulate the news with stories that favor liberalism.

Here is another example:

“Watching this all at home were members of Journolist, a listserv comprised of several hundred liberal journalists, as well as like-minded professors and activists. The tough questioning from the ABC anchors left many of them outraged. “George [Stephanopoulos],” fumed Richard Kim of the Nation, is “being a disgusting little rat snake.”

Others went further. According to records obtained by The Daily Caller, at several points during the 2008 presidential campaign a group of liberal journalists took radical steps to protect their favored candidate. Employees of news organizations including Time, Politico, the Huffington Post, the Baltimore Sun, the Guardian, Salon and the New Republic participated in outpourings of anger over how Obama had been treated in the media, and in some cases plotted to fix the damage.

In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

I think a problem currently with the media is that there is an over saturation of information.  People don't care or don't have the time to investigate which piece of information is factual or is more factual than another piece. 

Also most individuals have lost their crediabiltiy/intergrity unlike way long ago you could rely on an individual to get the story and get it actual factual.  Now, its more about the story than about being crediability/intergrity.

Let me clarify what I meant.  The problem is that people are apathetic and because there is a saturation of information they don't feel like sorting through it.  I'm for the information being out there.  The saturation of information is also used in logical discourse.  The slang terms are vomit method or the buckshot method.  Vomiting method you're bound to bring something up that will hit the individual and the buckshot is that there are so many slugs something is going to land.  These methods are used to distract or lead down a rabbit hole instead of focusing on what's going on (ie person vomitting or the gun being fired)
