Ustwo, generally both conservatives and liberals love it when those of the opposite ilk confirm or play to their stereotypes and/or suspicions of that other side. I'm not exempt on this count.
Is Dan Rather unbiased? Probably not. I doubt anyone truly is, but bias does not prevent objectivity. It is not a liberal or conservative media, it is a corporate media. There are liberal and conservative individuals at various stations in the media, but I have a strong belief in the reality of the market which drives me to believe the market has a lot more to do with the decision making than either left or right wing ideologies.
By the way, your signature quote ('Conservative by 35') is incorrectly attributed to Churchill, one of many quotes thus misattributed. There is no evidence that he ever either said this or would have. Visit the Churchill Center for more info:
