Does the Belief that MSM News has Liberal Bias Intensify Partisan Division?

Listening to the exchange (partial transcript posted below) on the radio on Council for National Policy's <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Edward_G._Atsinger_III">Stuart W. Epperson's and Edward G. Atsinger III's</a> Salem Radio Network's Hugh Hewitt..... (Salem owns townhall.com, too....)

and Salem Media's http://hughhewitt.townhall.com/


<h2>AND:</h2>
Republican Party Talk Radio:

.....and ABC News senior correspondent, Jake Tapper, I couldn't help but wonder how many people agree with Hewitt, about the MSM. I believe that we "know what we know" about politics, from the media "reporting" that we pay attention to (or who the people or organizations who influence us politically, pay attention to), and by what we read on US Government websites.....

The point is, I listened as a man who claimed that he was a "journalist", a man who is openly and intensely partisan, and who is a prominent columnist, blogger, and radio talk show host for a media organization with 1200 radio stations, a "news service....SRN", and the most prominent conservative website, townhall.com, aggessively questioned and dismissed an MSM correspondent who was supposed to interviewing him, at the time......as well as the credibility of all of MSM reporting.

Read the rest....do you agree with Hugh Hewitt, or do you agree that it is reasonable to speculate whether it is time to split into two countries, each with it's own, separate governance, because of the widening gulf in the POV of those who dismiss the MSM as a source for what they "know", and those who use it as a means for finding out what is happening in the world, along with other options that the web and print media offer.
