Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights? By Orson Scott Card

This is a great editorial, made perhaps even better by the fact that the writer is a democrat!

Media bias has been prevalent for years, I've excepted it for what it is and come to the understanding that they just cannot help themselves. Partisanship is a natural state and it's almost impossible to be un-bias on a subject like politics. Fortunately for us, the media is at last coming right out in the open and admitting it.

OK, not really. Dan Rather DID say straight out when questioned about the recent Biden gaff, that the mainstream media was giving it some coverage as a minor issue but admitted that it would have been front page news on every paper in America if Palin had said the same thing!!!

Even in an interview with Sara Palin when she was asked if she thought Biden was getting pass on his '6 month international incident' comments and she responded with a statement along the lines of 'you guys (speaking to a reporter) would have blow this story sky high rather than bury it', to which the reporter who was conducting the interview for CNBC laughed and AGREED with her!

A study conducted by the media for the media (found on Drudge here) finds that the McCain coverage has been FAR more negative that that of Obama. It does not go as far as to blame media bias (rather it blames McCain himself, go figure), but the fact that they published such a report shows they have no shame!
