Galling Duplicity
Now that John Kerry has selected John Edwards as his running mate, we should expect the mainstream media to jump right on Mr. Edward's lack of experience muchi the same way they savaged Dan Quayle over that issue in 1988. Mr. Edward's only political experience is six years in the US Senate, where he spent much of that time out campaigning for president.
Contrast that with Dan Quayle, who spent two terms in the US house of Representatives and was in his second term as a US Senator when he was selected by George HW Bush to be his running mate. Even if the time he spent as a big-time trial lawyer counts, Mr. Edwards' experience pales when compared to Dan Quayle. However, don't hold your breath and wait for the media arm of the Democratic party to point out any of this like they did in 1988. |

The media is remarkably biased toward the left--NO question about it.

Yes it is truly sad how bad the media is usually, it is a shame that the media can't be unbiased. But yea what do you expect from the media it's just a group of people who will express their opinions to the people

Well, it's quite hard for unbiased media period. Only C-Span has accomplished that.

Somehow I dont think we'd see you complaining if the media was biased towards the right
Anyway, only fools believes completely in what the media, any media, says. As far as Im concerned, none of the medias can be trusted.

I may or I may not, I honestly don't know. But if it WERE biased toward the right, I would admit it and perhaps even condemn the bias, unless it was a TINY bit like FOX News. (The only media that I trust enough)

The media is biased sometimes, but it depends what for. In sport it is the most biased thing possible if the country it is based in is taking part, but that is to be expected.
