Media isn't biased?

Who says CNN isn't biased?

Tonight, Larry King dedicates half his show to Ann Coulter's derogatory comments towards John Edwards. Her comments were just the latest stupid comments from an arrogant, self-centered woman. Of course Bill Maher's Cheney comments weren't mentioned. And who does Larry's producers put on as a guest to discuss Coulter's polarizing comments? Arianna Huffington. LMAO.

And of course he also had on Ed Schultz, who is a complete joke, who has made a career of making the same sort of comments.

Ed made it a point that Coulter's comments were indicative of the "conservative movement in this country." Conservatives have the patent on stupid, ridiculous comments? I've seen conservatives everywhere ridicule Coulter for her comments. I've yet to hear any liberals ridicule Maher for his comments. Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough.

Larry King just doesn't have much credibility, at least with me.

I used to admire his program. Here lately, I've been losing more and more respect for it.

There's an increasingly valid reason why "The Bob and Tom Show" makes fun of Larry King as much as they do, and that reason is King himself.

Has anyone ever said they didn't think the media was biased one way or another on these boards?

Actually, I believe the recent argument has been that the media is biased in favor of Republicans.

Some media is especially talk radio and Fox news.

Probably not. FWIW, I think it's extremely difficult for the media not to be biased one way or another (whether because of personal belief or simply trying to keep their job) BUT that doesn't exxonerate the fact that they are biased.

Talk radio? There are plenty of conservative talk radio shows and plenty of liberal talk radio shows. And I wouldn't classify talk radio as news media.

Yes, Fox News is biased towards conservatives, as is the Washington Times. CNN and the Washington Post, and the majority of other outlets, are biased towards Democrats.
