All television networks that supply news have governemnt contracts, these contracts make sure that the news is not too liberal.

It ran at the top story of the day and was boldly featured on page 1 of the main section.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.chron.com\/cs\/CDA\/ssistory.mpl\/topstory\/1941170\r\n\r\nOn the same day, the same newspaper ran this story about the Bush Administration's plans to provide prescriptions benefits and improve the Medicare system in America. It was tucked away on page 9.\r\n\r\nhttp:\/\/www.chron.com\/cs\/CDA\/ssistory.mpl\/nation\/1941916\r\n\r\nI wonder why this same newspaper has never run a page one article about high salaried Hollywood entertainers, high salaried athletes and coaches, or high salaried labor union officials. Hmmm???\r\n\r\nThe only question remaining is whether the editors decided to do this on their own, or were encouraged by officials at Democratic Party Headquarters.\r\n\r\nThis is so typical of our left-leaning mainstream news media in America.\r\n\r\nThe Democrats are so starved for meaningful issues that they're attempting to turn corporate executive pay into an issue.  This is certainly an issue that might interest the stockholders of the particular companies cited. But it's a non-starter as a political campaign issue that might benefit the Demorats. They simply have no valid issues and that's why they're grasping at straws like this.","author":"Bush Admirer","parent_id":63728,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-06-09 10:38:02","modified":"2003-06-09 10:38:02","fileurl":""},{"id":63874,"heading":"Oh, but BA...","article":"...FOX News is still out there, spouting the neocon party line.  \r\n\r\nJust one major conservative media outlet.\r\n\r\nAnd the lefties are deathly afraid of it.\r\n\r\nThey won't be happy until all media outlets are Guardian franchises.
