Liberal-leaning because of origin only (they're Dem-commissioned), but still statistically most accurate which of course matters more than origin 100 times out of 100, which means you shredded your own shitty argument.

Must suck always getting taken to school. Especially as a Norcal resident, you must feel especially vapid around so many people so much smarter than you.

CNN and MSNBC are hella biased. I don't get it. Its pretty obvious. FOX is biased too. There actually isn't any unbiased media, maybe if you are lucky and have a local station that actually does fair journalism.

MSNBC and Fox are beyond the pale, definitely, totally shameless organizations. Fox does it much better of course (see ratings), but both are sad examples of out-of-control media. CNN is only really "biased" in terms of their one true opinion show i.e. Piers Morgan. And really that's just a recent gun control phenomena, not persistent propaganda like MSNBC and Fox. Those channels are built from the ground up for partisan purposes.

The most true, unbiased journalism you're going to get is NPR, and various fantastic Sunday programs like ABC's This Week or NBC's Meet the Press. Local stations are "unbiased", but that's easy when you don't have to offer analysis.

While true, being biased isn't necessarily a bad thing so long as you are aware of the bias. MSNBC doesn't hide their bias, they don't claim to be fair and balanced, they see themselves as a voice that's trying to out shout fox news. Fox news on the other hand claims to be fair and balanced, they claim to be a news network but we all know the truth.

hehehe.

The bottom five national surveys were conducted by Rasmussen, Gallup, National Public Radio, National Journal and Associated Press-GfK. All projected either one- or two-point victories for Romney nationally.

lulz troll can't even get direction of NPR's bias straight, let alone the magnitude. Says they're lefty but they were biased righty with Romney, backfiring completely.

Must really suck living in Norcal with all those smarties.
