I don't know. It's not like those offended by the White House "attacks" are in the President's corner anyway.

It's pretty much impossible to find unbiased news. Evening newscasts and papers are biased anymore.

I think what shapes a person's political beliefs has more to do with family and personal relationships anyway. I'm not sure the so-called mainstream media has a whole lot of pull.

Besides, watching Chris Matthews spit all over everything when he gets excited is great TV.

My degree is in journalism. I find what routinely happens today in the mainstream media and the blogosphere patently offensive.

But that's what happens when private industry owns news. I'm not advocating for government-owned news... I'm just sayin'.

And they're only telling their audience what they want to hear. It's, well, the way it is.
