Your insinuation that "If you offer nothing in support of your opinion that media outside a vacuum is liberal, there is no truth in your claim." is additionally without merit. I can make the claim that the sky is blue with no evidence to back it up and that does not mean that it's false.
You make judgement calls on a daily basis "Bush lied" etc with NO EVIDENCE but you seem to find no reason to think "there is no truth in your claim".
I am so sorry that you are "none too pleased" with my propagations. It's ironic that you offer little to no evidence of your continual Bush bashing but my assertions need to somehow meet a higher standard than those you set for yourself.

It's impressive that you can create such nonsense. In every instance that I have "bashed" Bush, I have provided a reason and defended that reason when asked to do so. Never have I claimed that Bush has lied - because it is impossible to defend such an opinion: a lie is only a lie when it is admitted, in all other instances, a false statement is not a lie.
And again - it is not the necessary position to prove that the media is in general not biased towards the left because the DEFAULT position of media in general is non-bias. That is the foundation of democracy, the freedom of speech. To claim it is otherwise is the position that REQUIRES defense. Yet you offer none and then attempt to equate your refusal to defend your position with your imaginary perception of my "little to no evidence of my continual Bush bashing".
It's as if you are arguing, at night time, that the sky is green and refusing to defend it and then you deny my claim that the sky is blue because I can't walk outside and prove it.
