every "news" outlet does at some point. They bait you in with appearing balanced and then, once you're an avid watcher, they switch to pro-corporate propaganda.

Think CNN, Wall Street Journal, New York Post (hard to believe that before 1974 - before Murdoch bought them out -the New York Post actually used to be liberal!), 60 minutes, 20/20, all C-Spans, Huffington Post, etc.

When I say "liberal", I mean, dedicated to truth rather than propaganda.

They are all three dedicated to the capitalist/corporotist mindset. Expecting them to be in favor of socialist solutions or even more government regulation is unrealistic. It'd be like expecting Cat Fancy to be anti-Cat.
