Then consider that the talk radio types aren't coming from these sorts of academic backgrounds.

As I've stated time and time again.
The talking heads are not a problem. I know Rush Limbaugh is a conservative, I know Al Franklin (or is it Franken) is a liberal. I know what their spin is.
The problem is when unknown, writes and unknown story, with an unknown bias. After 2000 when the mainstream was really alterted to this kind of thing the excuse by news execs was that well it exsisted but it was unconcious. I think a lot of it isn't intented but if you have a world view you will spin that world view because you think its 'right'. Some of it is most definately intended with someone like CBS's Dan Rather taking the prize.
