It's well known across America and through some exposed scandals of the media's biased reporting as well as conjured up, ficticous reports (New York Times is a real culprit). CNN is likely the worst when it comes to liberal biased reporting. Often, a saavy viewer can detect when they are grandstanding or purposely slanting things. The recent bit about Israelis killing loads of innocent women and children has been misrepresented propaganda reported by sharp-eyed internet bloggers. Just yesterday it was reported by many of them who noticed the very same women and children being used by Hezbollah to make it appear as if more of them are dying by Israeli attacks. There are many clues that show clear evidence of Hezbollah using the same dead bodies to make things look worse and totally out of control. These are terrorists and they will fight in any unconventional or convient manner they see fit for the moment to accomplish their goal. People of the world need to understand that nations are fighting against a "mindset", a "warped ideology". Nations are using conventional methods to combat unconventional, below the belt, low down tricks.

your kidding right? The news is slanted in the liberal direction pretty bad all over. If you have ever read the New York Times, whatched CNN, NBC, CBS and so on you will know what I'm talking about. The only news network I would consider Conservative is FOX.

I completely agree with you, but I would bet good money that you're a conservative. Media bias is reality as far as I'm concerned, but ask a liberal. Most of them would tell you that Fox is biased, while the others are "fair and balanced". It all depends on your point of view, and it is probably impossible to measure objectively. Case in point - dknguyen is in Canada. I believe most Canadians are liberal, from my point of view, so they might see the American media as conservative.

when you Americans say "Liberal" are you talking abt what the word actually means or some perverted view of it

Europe try's to be liberal (as in tries to remove as much power from the gov'n - bar UK).

I only say this because over at Gentoo::OTW a couple of Yanks throw the label of "lib/Liberal" around like it is some form of insult and actually directed it at use Europeans at the forum, we were like ?? so its good that the gov'n doesn't have complete control.

Turns out (as I understand it) a party in the US called themselves "liberal" when infact they did alot of things non-liberal, thus for some reason the term liberal has been perverted in the US

Good question. Initially, the use of the word liberal was in its purest sense, as in someone or thing 'liberal' in the giving of time, money or talent, especially in a charitable context. It was synonymous with generous.

In recent years, that definition has become passe and has become a label for the anthesis of conservative, or conservatism. Its another of those polarizations that plagues and divides this country's political system at the present time. At some point in the pendulum swing of progress we will see a centralization of ideology, but as we all know, while the length of a pendulum's displacement can change, it's period always remains the same, so it will be some time, and many ballots, I think, before we see any mid-point.

Just my opinion.
