I think that same "right wing" media originally said he was arrested, but I could be wrong.

Regardless of legal ramifications, it was remarkably stupid in light of his previous problems.

If you think that the majority of the media is left, then you're not paying attention.

All perspective. I could say the same thing to you. Most likely the case is that they are to the right of you and to the left of me.

Fox"News" is too left for you?

We can play the back and forth game all day citing examples that suit our purpose. The perspective of news being slanted to the left or right is determined by the political positioning of the viewer/reader/listener of said news.

A lot of the news is being manipulated by this Administration. There's very little room to determine anything.
Mark Malloch Brown was right in saying that lots of what happens in this country and outside of the US is dumbed down or excluded by news outlets like Rush and Fox"News".

Yeah....this is actually why Katie Couric moved from Today to the CBS Nightly News. Because she is so friendly to the administration, there was a coup planned by Rove to oust Rather and replace him with a Bush yes-woman. But then again, Rather was clearly being used by the right in the whole forged docs scandal on he eve of election.

I suspect a planted fake document.

You can't tell me that the whole Cheney bang-bang incident wasn't dumbed down. "Heart event" and "peppered"...? C'mon, Leo. You're not obtuse.

Dems block Congress pay raise unless Repubs agree to minimum wage hike

To demonstrate our complete polar-oppositeness, I actually thought it was ridiculously overplayed.
