Too often today, I hear people shouting "bias" when what they really mean is "I don't agree with what you are saying!"

yes, it is sad, but no, I'm not saying he's biased because I disagree with him.
I knew what I wrote was ironic, but I absolutely meant it. I have also said that FOX news is biased to the other extreme, too. That's why I watch FOX and other news sources -to get the complete picture. Would you expect a FOX NEWS reporter to give fair and balanced treatment to Kerry? Of course not. Nor would/should you expect Jim Lehrer to do so with Bush.
