I'm sick to GD death of hearing about a "liberal bias" in the press. Tell it to President Clinton.

I just wish the press would report the news without leaning left or right. Let the people decide how to feel about it.

Just snoop the facts and let us decide for ourselves.

You have to love Fox News. They keep having these text polls after the debates. The general public (Dem/Rep/Ind) and find that Obama overwhelmingly won each debate, but the Fox polls run in the high 80% range (last night's was around 87%) for McCain. You could call 100 registered Republicans after each debate and not get that high a percentage saying that McCain won ( ... )

I tried to vote on the Fox interactive poll last night, but it wouldn't let me register an "Obama won" vote. I considered trying "McCain won" just to see if that would work, but I'm pretty certain it would have, and I didn't want to give him the vote.
