We already knew that...

Franken is a partisan twit just like the conservative radio dudes, but he is at least a lot funnier.

People believe in a liberal media because other people like Limbaugh, Coulter etc. scream "liberal bias" whenever conservative failures are reported, even if completely fairly and accurately.

But yeah coorporate owned media that benefits from all the same big business perks as other large corporations would kind of be shooting itself in the foot if there was a true liberal slant to the way they reported news.....especially about administrative policies.

you ever watch katie couric? i liked it better when she had the colon-cam.

i think it's [mass media] certainly more balanced today. Or rather, polarizing opinions are no longer in short supply.
