Frankly I know nothing about the poll. I'm only half following this story, but so far it seems like much ado about nothing (unless of coures you presupose that Conservitives are out to get you)


I'm not even bothering to address the rest of your post (no offense, I just want to make one general point).
The media is controlled by money, not politics. If it were as liberal as republicans claim then you wouldn't have seen any coverage of Monica Lewinsky or Gary Condit (he was a democrat, right?)

Fox News however, is conservative. There's enough proof out there (just check fair.org) to show that. The head of the network worked for Bush sr., the reporters contribute to a lot of conservative newspapers and there are more stories on bad democrats than anything else.
Also, note their attacks on Clinton (some of which was earned) compared to their rolling over and supporting Bush (O'reilly went so far as to quote Bush's campaign messages and say "sounds good to me.")

An interesting quote comes from a republican in 1992.
Years ago, Republican party chair Rich Bond explained that conservatives' frequent denunciations of "liberal bias" in the media were part of "a strategy" (Washington Post, 8/20/92). Comparing journalists to referees in a sports match, Bond explained: "If you watch any great coach, what they try to do is 'work the refs.' Maybe the ref will cut you a little slack next time."

I have nothing more to say on this thread except Bush said in 2003 he'd fire anyone who was responsible for the leak, now he's saying anyone who did anything illegal.
He's already got his own Vietnam, he shouldn't go looking for his own Watergate.

Bow ties are coool.
