This is what I find interesting; that the market seems to support a Conservative majority. In news media, you hope for neutrality, and many think that we're not getting that.

Hope for neutrality....
Well, me too. I don't believe it's possible to receive neutrality as long as
there is a profit motive driving the networks that present news. I guess it's
why I love Frontline and Charlie Rose so much. Hell, even the MacNeil-Lehrer
report.
They have problems, true, but they do struggle to balance their presentation.
I actually shouldn't have thrown Rose in there, it's just that his guest list is killer.
