I guess my problem is with what it means to be "liberal" or 
"conservative" these days.  I mean, there are righties who oppose the 
war, and lefties who support it-- you just can't generalise anymore, 
it seems to me.  Some supposedly liberal talk hosts are quite 
conservative on certain issues, and I've heard a few conservative 
talkers expressing views I'd classify as liberal.  I think there has 
been a shift in the culture on a number of issues, so I am not sure 
what a "liberal bias" is.  I believe, as I have said before, that the 
mainstream media are not really rightie or leftie-- they are 
CORPORATE and promote a pro-big business point of view.  Just sayin'...
