I know you'll hate this idea, but watch O'reilly any night, just the last 5 minutes when he reads the mail (I wouldn't ask you to sit through all of the show) and listen to the responses he gets to stories run the previous night.<BR/><BR/>Keep an open mind for a minute....he'll receive 2 completely opposite interpretations of the same story. Some say he's a left wing nut, others say he's a right wing nut...<BR/><BR/>That is precisely why that network is successful, it throws out a story and lets two morons scream at each other about it. People read into everything they hear what they WANT to hear..It's just basic empathy and reaffirmation of ones own views.... it's a brilliant premise....<BR/><BR/>As for the MSM being slanted to the right, if that were true, why would they ALWAYS find fault with the right and ALWAYS make the right look bad? If they were right leaning, common sense would dictate they would make the right look good not bad...Tim Zankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14619436377992741061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1163593197330110252006-11-15T07:19:00.000-05:002006-11-15T07:19:00.000-05:00Tim,I would disagree.

I think the media is "right leaning". <BR/><BR/>However, if you listen to the right wing extremists on talk radio, they of course say the media is "liberal" because they are not as far right as Rush and Hannity and others wish they were.<BR/><BR/>And if you REALLY think we have the networks....explain FOX News.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11887973.post-1163541875917158692006-11-14T17:04:00.000-05:002006-11-14T17:04:00.000-05:00Kevin, I have to take issue with your #1.
