Umm, BOTH the left and the right accuse each other of leaving out
facts. Here's the reality-- CNN and MSNBC and yes even Fox get the
facts wrong sometimes. It's not always due to ideology-- sometimes
it's due to poor fact-checking. Urban legends, stuff from unverified
sites like wikipedia, and anchors who didn't do their homework all
contribute to erroneous info getting on the air. But my rightie
friends truly believe the myth of the "liberal media"-- even though
it's been disproved time and time again.
