anybody that actually thinks the news media has a conservative tilt must be on drugs, either that or has absolutely no idea under the sun what it means to be liberal a or conservative

Ask him who owns CNN and whether he thinks Ted Turner is liberal or conservative.

Contrary asshole is also an option.

I'd like to point out, as you already know, that editorial decisions are *not* made by ted turner. He *might* have a role in the programming though, but I dont know.
Right now, CNN is owned by AOL/Time Warner, which is CEOed by Steven Case. Ted Turner has no role whatsoever. He is trying to be the next CEO though.
In our quest to determine precisely which political bias each network exhibits, we're completely missing out on the fact they're no longer independent.
Some points of concern: a few media conglomerates own the networks. The media always want "access" so they're often afraid to "disappoint" the current administration by digging too deep, pressing a story, etc. Heads of these conglomerates and even Talking Heads break bread with our political officials. They also wine and dine with the heads of other corporations. It's been called an Elite Cocktail Club by some.
And last but not least, I must mention the drive for ratings. This often results in more salacious coverage and "least common denominator" stories are chosen over those more important to the well-being of our country.
I'm not saying CNN, Fox, CNBC, etc. are all untrustworthy. I am saying the points above mean you can't rely on them for an accurate report of any given issue.
So is CNN liberal-biased? Who cares! CNN gives Hillary Rosen, the RIAA's spokeswoman, tons of airtime. Hillary can weave her web of pro-RIAA agenda without any contrary opinion on that channel. That's definitely not balanced and it's not right.
Anyway, food for thought (or the dog).

you have to be kidding... any site with a ann coulter (sp ? ) ad. is a right-winger
i could not find aol time warner on www.opensecrets.org i would have to say that the media
favors the right
lol, so amazon is a 'ight-wing' organization if they run an ann coulter add...sheesh. anyways, if u bother reading the site, they have some actual details and evidences
lol, amazon sells books. If they sold ideas (as per other sites), and advertised Ann Coulter books, they'd be 'ight-wing.'
