RB, it's no good denying that there's a significant leftist bias in major media when a large number of major media figures are now on record, caught red-handed, as being in the tank for Mr. Obama against Mrs. Clinton. Journolist was no forgery, no "astroturf" practical joke, and astonishingly enough bears out the complaint that critics of Mr. Obama have had from the beginning: that for at least a substantial portion of the MSM the correct response to any criticism of Mr. Obama, from whatever quarter, is to "call them all racist." And if you think this kind of thing stopped just because Mr. Obama won the Democratic primary, I wanna know what you're smokin'.
As for your complaints about Fox, I find myself echoing a lot of them. But you have to remember, RB, that the dispute comes down to:
Fox (assholes) vs Journolist (Everybody Else, also assholes). One allegedly dirty, allegedly conservative network versus dozens of allegedly dirty and -undeniably- leftist ones. Simply because those networks aren't leftist enough for your tastes, or for French politics, or for Canadians to endorse, means nothing. For the American climate they are leftist, and the Journolist incident shows that at least a significant number of their most powerful members are, in fact, partisan operatives working for the interests of a specific candidate and specific positions. Sorry, it's right there in their own words.
