Media Bias

FNC's Special Report with Brit Hume on Monday picked up on the late 2007 Sacred Heart University poll, highlighted Monday morning on NewsBusters, which found that by three-to-one Americans see a media slant to the left over the right while Fox News Channel led as the “most trusted” news source. In the “Grapevine” segment, fill-in anchor Bret Baier recited how the survey determined “45.4 percent of the respondents think journalists and broadcasters are mostly or somewhat liberal. Just 15.7 percent think they are conservative.”

Conservative!? So just how far Left do you have to be to think that the Mainstream Media is Conservative? Is 15.7 per cent of America walking around dressed like Chairman Mao, studying Karl Marx, and planning pilgrimages to Havana?

Yes, those 15% can be found at Starbucks, comparing Che Guevara
T-Shirts and readying themselves for a "die in" on the Capitol steps.

Yes, plus the ones wearing Che Guevera T-shirts, and the Code Pink girls, and the Cindy Sheehans of the country. They're the ones that Michelle Malkin pointed out who wrote an op-ed rejoicing in the death of Ann Coulter's father and using her column as source material to vilify her, her father, and conservatives in general.

There are plenty of Hard-Lefties around. (shaking head in disgust and disbelief)

Chris, Janic, and Skye:

To be honest, it scares me.
