i dont see it that way -

i see a media feeding frenzy of a non issue , 2 govenors are elected , democrats replace democrats in left leaning states , ? um , so ?

right leaning arnold does not get his proposals through in a left leaning state ? um , so ?

the media rails about GWs loss of whatever ? ok so he wont get elected again , oops , he is not running . this is news ?

the french are nearly in cival war , iran is rattleing her sabres .1 paragraph on page 22 if the papers even cover it .

let us ask Carl Rove what he thinks of all this .

Every time a Bushie is indicted or caught lying or involved in some scandal, Bush's approval slips futher into the abyss. And he's slipping fast. He used to have half the country in his corner. Now it's less than a third. (His all-time record is a 2% approval rating amongst Blacks) His biggest post-election boast was that he had a 'mandate' from the masses. Now the masses don't like him, don't trust him, and don't want him as President. Who cares what Carl 'The Traitor" Rove thinks? All this mistrust and contempt for Bush is on all his subordinates as well. They are viewed as greasy, crooked cogs in a great, dysfunctional machine. You think re-election is the basis for these polls? He'll be lucky to escape impeachment in the next 2 years. It's about time Bush was behind bars, and not the kinds with last calls.

carl rove is not the bad guy here , he did nothing wrong , there was no crime .

the left leaning media spins their lies and then , no one calls them on it , so the masses are starting to believe the lies of the media . which is starting to be seen in the polls , it looks like the POTUS has finally decided to challange the media . good for him , it is long over due.

culled from here http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB113218886047399621-yidsRSKeD_UrJ4qCafwjrRKAU6A_20061116.html?mod=tff_main_tff_top

In an interview Mr. Woodward acknowledged that his knowledge of the case informed comments he made during appearances on TV. Mr. Woodward has stated repeatedly on news programs that he didn't believe a crime was committed in the CIA leak case. He argued that the entire leak case had been overblown, that there was no criminal White House effort to "out" the CIA agent and that Mr. Fitzgerald was overzealous, "a junkyard dog prosecutor."

But Mr. Woodward never hinted at what he knew. The evening before prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald issued an indictment against I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, Mr. Woodward was asked by CNN talk-show host Larry King about rumors he was going to reveal unexpected evidence on the case in a story in the Post. "I wish I did have a bombshell," said Mr. Woodward. "I don't even have a firecracker. I'm sorry. In fact, I mean this tells you something about the atmosphere here."

The media in general leans right, if anything. The news is fairly objective, but they don't favor one side over the other. How many liberal news shows can you name? The major networks are riddled with conservative leaning hosts, panels & shows. Where's this liberal media everyone talks about? All I can think of is The Daily Show, and it's satirical. Balanced, but satirical.

The Bush Administrations policy from his first election on has been to deny everything and blame someone else. He is the head liar in a mob of liars. Liars, liars, liars.

If you have no TV how can you even conceive how 'liberal' the media is? For facts you need go no further than the Cable TV Guide:

Right Leaning Programs:

Sean Hannity

Brit Hume

Bill O'Reilly

Chris Matthews

Joe Scarborough

Focus on the Family

The Drudge Report

Meet The Press

Neil Cavuto

John Gibson

Wolf Blitzer

Left Leaning Programs:

The Daily Show

Seasame Street (Although Bert is a staunch conservative...)

...And radio is even more unbalanced

MC,

I'm not sure I'd list Matthews and Russert in the "right-leaning" category. Matthews seems pretty down the middle and even leftist sometimes. And Russert, although I've never seen him lean left, doesn't really pull for the GOP, either.

But you forgot the 700 Club.
