Is it still possible for anyone to still make the argument that everything we see in media isn't fed to us through a liberal prism? Can someone still deny the media isn't overwhelmingly biased towards the left? You would have to be asleep or an absolute fool to claim anything other than a one-sided view of the world is what we see from our so-called "impartial" media. The media's recent love affair with Barack Obama is not surprising and their bias in their reporting seems to hit new lows everyday. In fact, a recent report told of how the media has contributed $225,000 to liberals and their campaigns, while only giving $16,000 to republicans. See these articles to read more:

I awoke this morning to read that the U.S. economy grew at a 1.9% clip during the last quarter. I knew this was good news for the economy and I foolishly believed that the news should quiet those on the left who keep insisting, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that we are in a recession. So how does the AP handle the story? Well, here is the headline,
"Growth weaker than hoped; economy shrinks in Q4". Can you believe this? All we have heard is about how the economy is struggling, that we are in a recession and how we need to change our policies, and that Barack Obama is the one to lead us out of the darkness into the light! Well, sorry folks but we are nowhere near a recession and instead of admitting so, the AP says the growth wasn't big enough. The fact the economy grew at all should be reason to celebrate given the dire outlook from those on the left. See, the economy grew when the liberals didn't expect it too so instead of admitting they were wrong, they claim the economy didn't grow as hoped. What a crock! They even decided to go back to the 4th quarter of last year for some bad news to offset the 1.9% growth this most recent quarter.
It is tactics such as these the left has used to indoctrinate the minds of those less politically in-tune with current events. All media outlets, schools, and universities have become indoctrination centers which prey on the minds of the young and impressionable. The only way to combat this bias is to keep getting the truth out to the people who seek it and let them know of the dire situation our "free press" is in.
