3. What's funny is how well O"Lielly does as best at covering news

it shows that the right are a bunch of clowns who could care less about the truth. And look at which station does best at covering the news. repubs are almost in total agreement it is Fox. But the othe groups, moderate and dem, spread it out amoung the other stations. that says a lot. Just keep your heads in the sand, republicans.

4. Franken, Stewart, et al

Even though we all love 'em, I do truly hope that we DUers do not honestly believe that Jon Stewart or Al Franken are "fair" (as in unbiased). Of course they aren't as egomaniacal or just plain evil as the right-wingers on that survey, but we have to be realistic here.

5. Jon Stewert

I think he is not all that biased. he makes fun of everyone. Have you watched much of him?

6. done for what it's worth

i get the feeling that polls that are taken are used for the benifit of the agenda that is paying for them.True statistics have been replaced with market research and have shifted away from knowledge for knowledge's sake.
The America that watches t.v. for news coverage doesn't have the benifit of wanting to know the truth,when it is pressented to them a poll is put in place to create a poll about polls to get away from the issues.Examples are polls about what people believe in after they have been told what to believe in.Does America care about two rigged elections ? how could they when they have not been told about the facts.They have been polled to find out if they care about something they know nothing about. Bla bla bla
I want the country back and what t.v. has become can go entertain it's self to death. if you poll freepers and ask who between Jon Stewart and Rush Limberger Cheese are telling the truth,you know what the answers is,then the poll is released as " News " News is not entertainment it is news ,good,bad or ugly.When they came up with the concept of a News Anchor Person every bit of journalism in news died slowly,along with it T.V. watchers news input died.

7. They missed the 3 most significant biases...

1)Sensationalism
2)Mediocrity
3)Pro-American

With the notable exceptions of Fox News, Talk Radio, and the NY Times editorials, I do not detect much partisan bias in the media.

8. What Amazes me is that...

...there are so many non-newspeople who are included in this survey!
