Exactly why is it I'm noticing so much liberal bias in media these days? Has my dislike for Obama revealed unto me this long obscured truth? Or have I bought hook, line and sinker this cherished conservative mantra? There are shows I no longer watch, blogs I no longer read and newspapers I now merely lightly skim through because I find the bias in them so irksome - and yet I have no clear idea if this new found awareness of the putative bias is real or not. I mean, I accept that coverage is going to be slanted one way or the other regardless - people have ingrained sympathies and it would be foolhardy to think they can completely suppress them no matter their intentions: but I wonder if what's happening is that left leaning types are so troubled by Bush - offended better word - and consequently, in a directly proportional way, so invested in the idealism of Obama that an abiding although possibly until now largely muted or one might say reasonable liberal bias has completely come unglued - lost its head as it were. I get the distinct impression that if Obama loses this election the entire left wing of the country is gonna throw a gigantic hissy fit.
