I've never seen the German news (and if I did, I wouldn't know what it was saying), but it's very disappointing to hear that they are so biased in their coverage. Kerry's position on Iraq at least is pretty much the same as Bush, so I don't see why the German media wants him elected.
As for our media, I think that they're liberal b/c they have to be interesting to sell newspapers or keep us watching the TV. Being a liberal is much more interesting than being a conservative. Example: NEW HEALTHCARE PLAN FOR ALL--sounds great, but when viewed conservatively it's seen as unaffordable and reduces the quality of healthcare. ROLL BACK THE TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY--sounds like the rich don't need a tax cut, but when viewed conservatively these tax cuts stimulate the economy via investment, purchases, and job creation.
What I'm saying is, what is a news organization going to talk about, the forces for change or the sanity stopping it?
