Journalism is an inherently liberal career. It requires creative thinking and an inherent belief in the free exchange of information whether or not the powers that be would like for that information available to be accessible to the public.

I hate to say it but for the most part this media bias nonsense is most applicable to the cable news networks (be they CNN, Fox or whatever) aiming at the lowest common denominator.

I get my "real reporting" from The Washington Post. It's biased as well but at least it's above a 5th grade reading level. They're generally left-leaning on social issues, "worldly" on foreign policy, somewhat anti-war, pro civil liberties, and mostly for low taxes and free markets. Maybe growing up reading the Post shaped my views a bit. h:

If you want more from the economic conservative side there's The Wall Street Journal, and if you want the moral conservative stuff there's The Washington Times.

Pick yor poison, but stay away from cable news in all its forms.
