Press favors Kerry 12 to 1 over Bush!

In the break rooms in my office, the televisions are set to Faux News. While visiting the vending machine I over heard one of the host of "Faux and Friends" say, according to the DC press, they favor John Kerry 12 to 1 over George Bush. Hence, all of the media bias against Bush.

4. they want to further the myth that the media is liberal, and not fair

& balanced like Faux News ...

afterall, Kerry - Edwards, per the GOP talking point memos, are Liberals #1 and #4 in the Senate ... and, "liberal" is unAmerican according to the GOP, and not like the 1776 colonists and Founders so stop saying that (hehe) ... therefore, ergo ... presto ... disinformation/propaganda in 2004 America.

your work environment has TVs?
and, they're 'set to Faux News'???

6. Hmm, how about the ones who decide what is on the air on in print?

The editors & publishers of newspapers are overwhelmingly Republican... the producers of TV "news" shows are also strongly Republican.

Individual national reporters are slightly more liberal than the average population, while local reporters are about the same. However, if X publisher or Y producer says, "John Kerry, flip-flopper and George Bush, strong and decisive, use it or you're fired..." what is your average reporter going to do?
