The media's not liberal at all. If it was we would be hearing a lot more outrage about Homeland Security.

Why do you believe that? The liberals in congress went along with it.
I sure wish I could answer that one Turnea. It blows my mind!

The reason is probably because they don't disagree with it.
When I saw this, I knew I had to post something. I actually used to watch Fox News loyally until I noticed something the day after Al Gore's appearance on Saturday Night Live. I tuned in to Fox & Friends, and after it was over, an anchor was doing the news, which included the story of Al Gore's appearance. Through the duration of the story, she rolled her eyes, (and yes, I counted) 37 times. In some cases, actually accompanied by an audible groan or sigh. So I sit there thinking to myself, 'This is a news anchor, not a commentator, on a channel that claims to be fair and balanced, who is blatantly showing her bias.'
After this, I began watching a little more closely, and I noticed a couple of their other anchors who do the same sort of thing. Any time a story mentioning Bill Clinton, Al Gore, or for that matter, pretty much any other democrat comes up, they can be seen rolling their eyes, or sighing out loud.
For that reason, I stopped watching the Fox News Channel. I don't buy into their claim that they are fair and balanced. Their body language says it all.
