Some news channels are biased. There is nothing wrong with pointing this out.

Perhaps because the purpose of news media is not to promote a certain candidate. Its purpose is to inform the people—there's a certain presumption of objectivity. When a news station, therefore, is biased toward one candidate or cause over another, the "news" they report can be misleading, because the viewers trust and expect them not to be biased or to spread propaganda, but to simply inform them of what's going on.

I think most people at this point don't really expect news media to be completely objective these days - at least not entirely...

But I think many assume it is anyway... what's said on TV, especially on the news, must be true.

I know I did, back in my more ignorant days. The only difference between CNN and FOX News, in my mind, was which channel number I could more easily memorize (and I'm not exaggerating).

Yep, about CBS anyways, especially after the mess Dan Rather made.

That show is liberal. CBS may be a bit liberal. But until they have Micheal Moore as a correspondand, they will not be comparable to Fox news.

I think it's amusing the kind of reviews this one has gotten in contrast to Fahrenheit 9/11....

that is laughable. i still don't find "documentaries" all that good for entertainment any way. i give them both an F.

i don't think that you could have anything with Moore in it and still call it "news". I don't think that FOX is that bad. sides, they don't have Rush on tv, and that you should be thankful for.

I thought Fahrenheit and Bowling for Columbine were both very entertaining, if not entirely truthful.
