I don't think media matters needs the traditional "it's a biased site" warning. They've yet to publish any incorrect info.

And it must have been hard to narrow it down to only 18.

12/29/2005 8:10:03 AM

they may not have published incorrect information, but they are still biased in the information they choose to report on. i.e. Show the bad stuff from conservatives and good stuff from liberals, therefore making them liberally biased.

12/29/2005 8:27:39 AM

They report facts...the ones that make conservatives look bad, mostly.

But really, there has been some crazy shit said this year...i loled at these two.

In what context exactly would make the following look any better?

"Canada is a sweet country. It is like your retarded cousin you see at Thanksgiving and sort of pat him on the head. You know, he's nice, but you don't take him seriously. That's Canada."

Liberals "don't have the kind of family responsibilities most people have, and certainly not church responsibilities."

"There are a lot of aspiring rappers and NBA superstars who could really use a nice flat-screen television right now."

-- "I think I may need a bathroom break. Is this possible?" Bush asked in a note to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during a U.N. Security Council meeting in September.
