#4 This just Demonstrates the unvarnished, raw power of Karl Rove. It's all to draw attention away from Bush's upcoming election.

Election? To President for ~~Life~~ Ever, of course.

#5 The Multi-conglomerate entertainment businesses are staffed by 90% registered Democrats. The same people who used the argument about other institutions were hopelessly bias and out of step with 'America' if they were composed of 90% "privileged" white males. If population numbers were legitimate basis for the finding of 'de facto' discrimination or segregation in other aspects of society, why can't they see the problem in the mirror? Because it was never about right, or fair, or justice. It was and remains all about power.

Like the ruling caste in Mexico, they'd rather see their institutions collapse rather than do honest reform. At least the Mexican ruling class can dump their problem on the US. What's the MSM going to do in ten, twenty years? Watch as they use their allies in one political party to destroy free speech and communication through regulation. There will be but one voice of Big Brother. Labeled with such titles as "Fairness Doctrine". It's coming.

#6 Procopius2k,
If we stand by, it will. The very fact that the Amnesty bill went down in defeat shows that I don't think the American public will put up with it. '08 elections will really prove it, one way or another. If the dhimocrats win big, I believe the US is doomed to civil war and ruin. If true conservative republicans are elected, I have much hope for the future.

More than likely though, the dhimocrats will retain a house and the republicans will gain the white house and nothing much will get accomplished.

#8 If only 64 percent said they are politically biased, who are the other 36 percent ? Preschoolers ? Retarded ? Media executives ?

#10 And poll respondents who use the Internet as their main source of news -- roughly one quarter of all Americans -- were even harsher with their criticism, the poll conducted by the Pew Research Center said.

Which means that the more exposed you are to the fact-checking nature of the intenet, the more harsh you are against the MSM.
