On that show at least, he is very objective and fair. He's also really intelligent and really funny.<br /> I noticed that you did not actually comment on the content of this memo. I'm not sure what he is referring to exactly, but theoretically at least, he makes a perfectly valid point. If Bush calls Kerry a child molester, for instance, while Kerry accuses Bush of liking strawberry rather than rasberry jam, the media isn't obligated to treat both distortions equally. I don't think you have any reason to paint this as liberal bias when you don't know what Halperin is referring to. <br /> The media wants Kerry to win? That's ridiculous. If they're hard on Bush, it's because Bush treats them like shit. Also, Bush is a pretty lousy president and has made many, many mistakes. It's their JOB to call him out on those mistakes. <br /> I saw Edwards on all three Sunday morning network shows this morning, and they all gave him a hard time about the Iraq inconsistancies, which are real. I'll believe the media is biased when both sides stop complaining equally. If the right thinks there's a liberal bias, and the left thinks there's a conservative, corporate bias, then chances are, the media's doing its job.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05462812499518903569noreply@blogger.com
