The liberal media is using the old Clinton denial, "we aren't guilty as charged...it's a right wing conspiracy."

I think, at least for the broadcast networks, they realize that they are licensed by the FCC to broadcast over airwaves owned by all Americans, not just for the libs. If a court case could prove illegal bias they would stand to lose their ability to broadcast or face stiff fines and be made to correct the situation. Having to hire Ann Coulter for counter-balance would cause collective stomach pains and change the networks as we know it.

The only other option for change, other than Fox cleaning their clocks, is for conservatives to drop, or not purchase, stock in the broadcast networks. Nothing would get their attention like a slumping stock price due to outraged conservative viewers. The slogan could be, "Why would you own stock in a company that hates you and what you stand for?"

It may never happen, but I can dream.

p>Good work. br> -- Don /p> p> "One of the strongest proofs of the media's liberal bias is that liberal br> journalists deny its existence," writes George Neumayr. /p>

So Dan Rather, for example, must have a strong Conservative bias. It's easy to tell: Any Conservative will deny that such a bias exists, therefore it does! "If ye deny there be witches, then ye be a witch!"

The mainstream media certainly has a strong liberal bias, but Neumayr would do much better to cite some of the more damning examples of that bias. The Media Research Center is an excellent source of such material. Neumayr's argument that liberals' attempt to defend themselves against the charge proves their guilt opens up a Pandora's box of arguments laced with the same fallacy: If Conservatives deny that they are bigots, then that proves that they are bigots...and so on in the same inane vein. Ick.
