Many times when I talk with liberals, I mention the MSM, code for conservatives, meaning the typical place where America gets its news. We believe that the predominant news organizations are biased in favor of the liberals. My liberal friends all disagree, complaining that the liberal media is owned by capitalists and are thus biased against liberals.

The MSM is NYT,WAPO,LATIMES,NBC,CBS,ABC,CNN,TIME, NEWSWEEK. The New York Times and CBS/CNN are the worst for conservatives. Today, John McCain is complaining about the bias of NBC and Deborah Howell. Ombudsman at the Washington Post, writes that front page coverage of the two candidates at WaPo is heavily in favor of Obama by three to one. There are some reasons for that,

“But the disparity is so wide that it doesn’t look good.”

This is not just a Post phenomenon. The Project for Excellence in Journalism has been monitoring campaign coverage at an assortment of large and medium-circulation newspapers, broadcast evening and morning news shows, five news Web sites, three major cable news networks, and public radio and other radio outlets. Its latest report, for the week of Aug. 4-10, shows that for the eighth time in nine weeks, Obama received significantly more coverage than McCain.

This post is one reason I will vote for McCain, much to the disgust of my lib friends. If the Democrats take the Presidency and control both houses, they will try to pass the Fairness Bill. That means, for example, that Rush Limbaugh will have to give equal time to liberals. He’s one of the few places where I can get some balance to the MSM.

If the Democrats take the Presidency and control both houses, they will try to pass a law that outlaws secret ballots in an election to authorize a union in a company. To those who would vote to pass such a measure, our ballots are secret!
