Not true - I know what I want and I don't plan to blindly follow red or blue flags to tell me exactly what it is. I choose the answers to those questions based on what was logically correct, not on whether or not my party would have supported it.
Having a bias is fine, but having a bias as strong as yours shows ignorance and an unwillingness to see you party's own faults.

My bias and yours are towards what we believe and that is how it should be. We both have biases, mine are conservative and do not blindly follow any one political leader but are generally in line with the Republican platform. If you are in a long line of cars, are you blindly following them or actually taking the best route towards your destination?
Media should attempt to present the news or story, showing both sides of the coin and not showing their bias. Of course I am talking here about news and not editorials or commentaries which by nature are biased.

- Fox News' "Special Report," which is usually characterized as conservative, is not biased as far right as typical mainstream outlets are biased to the left. |
I suggest you read this. Not that it will help change your mind, as you're so blind you don't even recognise that there are two sides to every story.

"liberal media bias" is code for "media reporting facts we don't agree with". If the drudge report is the fairest news outlet in the US then i'm a mexican, lesbian, muslim, pro-choice republican from Kenya.
i check drudge and fox news websites a couple times a week. Never is there an article in favor of President Obama. Drudge articles are usually neutral (rare), negative (most of the time) or bat nuts. foxnews.com articles are always either neutral or negative. The foxnews.com front page articles are almost always negative regarding President Obama.
Check out foxnews politics page right now (because there are no Obama stories on the front page) and search for "Obama". You see:
Obama Tries to Slice and Dice His Way to Narrow Win (neutral or negative)
Obama votes early in hometown of Chicago (neutral)
Former Obama adviser says US back where it was '3 or 4 years ago' with Mideast, Iran (negative)
Kids know the 'other guy' is a 'bullsh-ter,' Obama tells Rolling Stone (neutral or negative)
Obama Still Won’t Own His Health Law (negative)
Powell standing by Obama in 2012 race (neutral)
Obama says he has lead, as poll shows Romney ahead and gaining among women (neutral or negative)
How about drudge articles right now? (search for "Obama"):
Spending on White House dinners soars under Obama... (negative)
Bust of Barack Obama's head -- made of butter! -- tours the streets of Chicago... (neutral or bat nuts)
Average GDP Growth Less than Half What Obama Predicted... (negative)
LIKE A VIRGIN: 'My first time was with Obama'... (neutral or bat nuts)
Noonan: When Americans Saw the Real Obama... (negative)
I assume for those really big positive stories like killing Osama Bin Laden that they're positive for President Obama, but i don't remember checking the next day back then.
