When I was in high school/college I fell for the idea that republicans were better at foreign policy and democrats at domestic policy. I also thought the press was basically unbiased and fair.
We still had the USSR to deal with then, and I thought that was much more important so therefore I was a republican. Since I've learned that even though the democrats whine more about domestic issues, that doesn't mean they arn't lying socialists bastards at heart, who use class warfare as a means to gain power and wealth (the democrat leaders that is). Personally I think some are truly traitors.
As for the press, by 2000 I knew they were mostly liberal, but with the Gore-Bush election it really opened my eyes as these biases were laid bare for all to see.
