Ideally the press shouldn't be right, left, or center. What you are really saying is 'I agree with the left leaning press, I think I'm the center, therefore they are the center.' EVEN if the country became a left wing majority, and the press echoed said majority it would not make it good reporting. It would be just as biased as it currently can be.
The only thing that has the left really upset is that for the last few decades they got away with having a constant friend in the a left wing press as there were no other outlets. Now they have been exposed (and the 2000 election REALLY showed the bias) and they are not getting away with the kind of crap they used to.
Again I'm sorry you don't LIKE it, but if you think a press core which in 2000 we surveyed and voted over 80% for Gore would not have some bias in it I have a organicly produced, non- sweatshop labor bridge to sell you.
