False. I think your subjective opinion got the best of you here.

please

don't call them TRUE communists if they live in mansions

if they live in mansions, they're just like any leader, devoid of political party

they're just in charge

theyre in charge all right, in charge of what many people in this nation hear and believe, sadly. studies have shown time and time again the liberal bias at cnn. it's what inspired rupert murdoc to create fox news in the first place. yes, fox was looking to counter a liberal bias even before they were the so-called "bush network" folks!

Bias is primarily determined by the listener's perspective. If both the right and left claim bias, what does that say? Besides, people don't watch the news these days for information, they watch if for validation.

At what level of market share does "alternative" media become mainstream? FOX news, Rush, et al, have a significant market share, and Rush gets 3 hrs per day rail against the power hungry left. The "mainstream" media at least makes attempts to present both sides. The rightwing media says they don't have to because they are just countering the bias of the mainstream media. But, then again, at what market share does "alternative" count as mainstream?

I mean come on man, this isn't even mainstream media, there is a reason that good news isn't reported - because there is none.
