During an presidential

During a presidential election year? There will be turbo-charged liberal bias - with rockets on it.

Agreed

SUPERCALIFRAGIBIASED!

Überbias, baby!

Überbias, baby!

how about

Superbiasized

I know Bush vs Kerry was insane bias

2007 We at least got a writer strike for a few months

I'd like to be a red state

I'd like to be a red state dentist in 2008. I'd make a fortune repairing teeth of conservatives worn down by the grinding.

Now that's funny! 

Rush Limbaugh stated that of the top 5 Republicans running for the presidency, only one was a true conservative. http://www.fred08.com/

CT,

The more exposed they are,

The more exposed they are, the more unabashedly biased they get, or so it seems.

When asked if he went to war with Iraq to derail the impeachment vote: “I don’t think any serious person would believe that any President would do such a thing." - President Clinton (Dec 1998).

They are trying to balance out talk radio

which tried to balance them out in the first place.

They are trying to silence talk radio. Communism and anarchy only work on a dumbed down society.

It will be the same. All the

It will be the same. All the players in the media are set. With the campaigns starting WAY too early this election cycle, we've already seen the claws come out. It may become more pointed though once all the infighting on Fox is done for the Republicans, and the infighting on NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, NPR, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times, Boston Globe, Newsweek, and Time Magazine is done for the Dems. It will become more directed at the other party once the candidates are set. But the amount of it will not be any worse IMO. Unless a 25th hour is added to each day of 2008.

They will be

The mostest biasedist ever! OMG! WTF!

These biased are belong to

CT,

It's why I support "Preview comment" and "Edit". :)

LMAO!

LMAO!

Duh!  It's an election

Duh!  It's an election year!!!!  No contest!

Inside joke Google: these

Inside joke Google: these base are belong to us

"All your base are belong to us"

Google it and watch the video.  It's from the video game Zero Wing.

Forget 911, I dial 10MM.

I would say they'll be about

I would say they'll be about the same, but here I have to say "more biased" because of the year being a presidential election year. Having more stories to run on a single topic (especially since that topic is a presidential election), the bias will be there more often than a 'normal' year. Not that 2007 was normal, because it was already in election fever (perpetual motion nowdays, to America's detriment), but once the two major party candidates are in stone, the bias almost unreal. Go to Costco and get a case of duct tape in preparation.

Retreat! It's a Blogswarm!

Retreat! It's a Blogswarm!

More

It seems impossible but it will have to be more as it is an election year and this is the year to cement the North American Union and make America submit to the globalist agenda.

Put it this way, there is not going to be allowed any Hugo Chavez loosing his own election while committing fraud in the United States.

Tim Johnson and the fake Indian votes in South Dakota are the perfect example of what is in store.

Do not be surprised if Chris Matthews jumps from his chair and stabs someone with a pen.......the someone would be Hillary Clinton.

Unsane

You see, what LC. is trying to say is uh,, well,, hmmm, I see your dilemna.

MORE biased!

They have an election to throw!

You bet they do. They've

You bet they do. And they've spent the last few years perfecting the methods to do so. "Macacca" was just a test...

Most definitely MORE biased

Most definitely MORE biased in 2008 for three reasons:

 (1) Yes, a presidential election year. So the media will be going out of their way to put the Democrat in The White House.

 (2) The Dragon Lady will likely be the Democrat candidate. So the media will REALLY REALLY REALLY be going out of their way to put the Democrat in The White House

(3) Each year the media keeps moving further to the left. (2007 was more biased than 2006, 2006 was more biased than 2005, etc. So the trend should continue in 2008. And I see a permanancy in this. So 2009 will be even more liberally biased, 2010 will top that, then 2011 will be even worse than 2010, etc.

And in 2004 John sKerry ran the most vicious scampaign ever. Well, Hellary will make sKerry look nice by comparison. Out of one side of her mouth she'll make a big stink over the TINIEST little thing the GOP candidate says about her (like if he says, "With all due respect Senator, you didn't answer the question") while out of the other side of her mouth she will make the most vicious, ugly, venomous bile against the GOP candidate.

DEFEAT THE SHE-DEVIL IN 2008!

About the same

How could they be more biased?  Silly question!  I guess I should never underestimate a liberal. 

I cannot imagine it either

I cannot imagine it either, but I have been surprised in the past.

I recognize the quote.

There was a game called "Zero Wing" in the 80s, where if you died the badly translated phrase "All your base are belong to us" appeared on the screen. The quote above is obviously lifted from that.

I am not sure how you can be

I am not sure how you can be more than totally biased, but they will find a way to exceed that.

Thanks FedUp. I thought it

Thanks FedUp. I thought it WAS obvious.The reaction was funny as hell though.

 

Struggle on!

Admired woman, Why?

Old, Retired and glad of it.  Shrillary Billary is one of the most admired people. By who, and why. Surely there aren't that many women that admire someone that lets their husband trample them like a stray dog. Maybe the women who admire her are preparing for their lack of a life under Islam where women are treated on the level of a broken piece of furniture on it's way to the dump. I never thought American women would accept that type treatment. Proves I don't know much about women out of my family where mistreating any woman will get your nose broken by the woman or another male member of the family.

Losing

Old, Retired and glad of it.

The Socialist/Communist/Democrats are fast losing their biased MSM since the MSM is hitting the dumper fast. Soon one flush will do away with ABC,CBS,NBC and CNN and the democrats will have to attend a funeral.

In 2008, the Dem Ministry of

In 2008, the Dem Ministry of Propaganda(the MSM) will increase its efforts to turn our country into a Marxist "workers' paradise" by forcing Hillary on us with a breathtaking display of outright, wall-to-wall propagandizing.

I voted about the same. I

I voted about the same. I can't see how they can be more biased.

Definately more biased

For those thinking they can't be more biased, you haven't seen anything yet!  For the past 6 to 10 years, they have generally presented 'facts' (of course only those that support their agenda and skewed world view), while omitting any and all facts that challange that agenda.  Except for a few exceptions (Dan Rather forgeries, Duke case, etc.) they really haven't 'made-up' information other than spinning the few 'facts' that they choose to report.  Next year, I suspect they will begin to do more out-right fabrication of 'facts', report them repeatedly, and then rarely mention them after thoroughly dis-proven by the new media.  I suspect that the 2008 elections will not only expose the Democrats for the frauds of their 'slogans', but will also expose the MSM for the agenda driven propagandists they have been for the past 4 decades.  Hopefully, legal actions launched against their increased fabrications (outright lies) will cripple them into extinction, or at least major reform.  At any rate, get the popcorn ready.  The show will be breathtaking!

 

To know and not do, is to not yet know

 The MSM has to step it up

 The MSM has to step it up with the bias-election year, ya know.  Hilary is calling in her blackmails and intimidations.

 

Anyone who says they support the troops but not the mission is a liar. 

Of course the bias is going

Of course the bias is going to increase with the upcoming elections...

Long knives will be unsheathed.....

I picked More Biased

 I picked more biased, but it depends on who's running.  If Hillary's running, it will be about the same.  If Obama is running they've already chosen sides on this one and they will be more biased than any of us believe.  They will do everything, in their power, to get Obama elected.

Democrats: Specializing in "high tech lynching" since 1987.

There's A Question?

The Liberal Media will go into full fledge propaganda mode. It will be a Presidential election year and they will do their best to bring Queen Hillary to power.

Might not be a bad thing

The greater the bias the lower the public opinion of them goes, the lower their ratings go, the more it drives people to Newsbusters. Without the bias people would not seek the truth. Bring on the bias...it is like Toyota telling Ford to keep building those Pintos! We should be paying MSNBC every day they broadcast another one sided rant. We should have cheered when Reid announced more will die because of the surge and then shoved it in his face a few months later. We should also rejoice every time they reel in the timeline for a non - existent AGW catastrophe...all it does is create more patronage for this site and more distrust of the media and the fear mongering left! Problem is that conservatives are too nice and never rub the past in the face of liberals who predicted welfare reform would starve millions, or any number of other examples.
