MSM in the crosshairs

Finally, FINALLY, it's beginning to dawn on the Mainstream Media that maybe, just MAYBE, they exhibit political bias:

The Wall Street Journal: "According to Rasmussen, fully 68% of voters believe that 'most reporters try to help the candidate they want to win.' And -- no surprise -- 49% of those surveyed believe reporters are backing Barack Obama, while just 14% think the media is in the tank for Sen. McCain.

"Meanwhile, 51% of those surveyed thought the press was 'trying to hurt' Mrs. Palin with its coverage.

"Perhaps most troubling for the press corps, though, was this finding: '55% said media bias is a bigger problem for the electoral process than large campaign donations.'"

On one hand, I should be glad this is a wake-up call of sorts for the MSM to start REPORTING the news for a change instead of ANALYZING (read: putting their own spin on) it.

On the other, I love, love, LOVE seeing them make total @$$es out of themselves. And I want it to continue until they realize they're deep in a gutter of their own making, and then beg us reader/viewers for forgiveness.

But it's all good ;)
