TW: If you want a perspective on biased media shut yourself off from all other media for a day and just read Redstate.com and DailyKos.com. Then you will understand the parallel universes in which many Americans live and what true media bias actually looks like (understanding neither profess to be non-biased unlike say Fox). You will also gain an appreciation for how tedious uninhibited snark can become.
I think you will gain as well an appreciation for how relatively unbiased MSM is. To repeat an earlier comment, MSM is highly biased but mainly in the interest of making money (Fox and Drudge have their right wing revenue models, MSNBC and Huffington have their left wing models, CNN/CBS/ABC /Politico etc. try to meander around the middle).
For amusement and evidence of the above I went to the No Spin Zone (ha!) of the inimitable Bill O'...chk out his electoral projections...he has McCain ahead 189 to 183 with 166 too close to call (inc. those current cliffhangers OR, MI, IA, MN, WI, NH etc). He also has one of those "you decide" polls, this one on who provides the best political analysis...your choices are Gingrich, Dennis Miller, Dick "Toe Sucker" Morris or Karl Rove...talk about a fair and balanced selection of analysts...
