Journalist Objectivity?
Recent Poll of Journalists
Press poll The New York Times' John Tierney says that at a press party at the Democratic National Convention, he persuaded 153 journalists — about a third of them based in Washington — to anonymously give their opinion as to who would make the best president, George W. Bush or John F. Kerry. The journalists from outside the Beltway "picked Mr. Kerry 3 to 1, and the ones from Washington favored him 12 to 1," Mr. Tierney said in his Political Points column yesterday. The columnist made much of the fact that a majority of the journalists — 77 to 67 — also said that, from a strictly journalistic point of view, they would prefer to cover a Bush administration. But even then the Washington contingent favored Mr. Kerry, 27 to 21. |

Your point being?
That an intelligent well informed demographic think your crap maybe. It's just a shame it's not the journalists who decide what's reported. |

[/ QUOTE ] That doesn't prove a liberal bias over conservatism, but an intelligence bias over stupidity. Just because someone favors Kerry or anyone else over Bush doesn't mean they're liberal, it just means they don't want 4 mores years of the most unqualified president in history. |

Let's see given a choice between a reasonable intelligent Senator and a ignorant monkey that has failed in every venture he ever attempted -- and a highly educated group of professionals goes with the <insert drum roll here> Kerry?
What a shocker! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] |

No, I was talking about his Business Ventures (all ending in bankruptcy, being bailed out by Saudi's, or having taxpayers foot the bills). Of course, I think the people of Texas are currently paying for most of the messes he made in there. Taxpayers haven't really begun paying for the mess he made of the US. The Big Business machine that bought him the Governor and Presidency could have elected a monkey dressed up in a cowboy suit. Wait a minute, they did!
