Bias by Ari Kaufman

"Despite decades of evidence from, Walter Cronkite's offense at Tet and 'Bush lied about WMDs' to the contrary, today's liberal is fond of claiming there is not only zero lefty bias in today's mainstream media, but often a conservative bias.
The Nation's resident leftist prevaricator, Eric Alterman, most recently pointed this out last fall, after he became enraged by the 'lies in ABC's mini-series Path to 9/11' (the one the Clinton's had changed in a remarkable cover up). Others look to their perception of the media's 'build up of the Iraq War' in 2003, or the Downing Street Memo that a professor in Florida once told me he 'writes to the Times (NY, of course) daily imploring them to publicize it more' and many others.
But, naturally, facts tell a different story, as evidence amounting to a left-leaning bias in the mainstream media is as deep as the Marianas Trench.
Led by their long time hero, Chris Matthews, today's media will mention any minor scandal from Scooter Libby to Tom Delay in order to market their erroneous claims, despite nearly a century of history showing the dangers in losing focus of the America's true enemies."
