deciphered is the proper word :-)
All I hear is peeing and moaning about things some of you don't like; not a single decent solution has been offered. It would be rather hard to find some unbiased person to police the bias.
Rush just claims to be an entertainer so therefore he is allowed to say what he wishes; some people live by Rushs words like they do the gospel so who draws the line. Can CNN have an "entertainment " program.
It's a can of worms and poor old crossfire doesn't know where the off switch is on his radio.

deciphered is the proper word I bow to your intellect, shame on me. Central government isn't freedom.

not a single decent solution has been offered. It I agree, two were offered, and I'm confident would solve the problem. Providing facts, not formulating opinion is what a free press was intended to be about. Political advocacy is subject to law, the press now being advocates, should be as well. The next step is demand political neutrality in educational institutions that receive public dollars

A free unbiased press is our best hope.

America maybe starting to wake up.... It will take some time and discomfort, but America will be fine.

Looking forward to the old media's demise. Every time someone who is sick of them doesn't click on their web a little more cash is taken away from them.... can't happen soon enough

The only thing I'll add to this line is that WE, as a people, are absolutely free to change our minds as to what we read.. IMHO, the Pioneer Press is not nearly as leftist-leaning as the Red Star (Murderapolis Star-Trib..) which is so far into the tank for leftist democrats that they can only be rescued by a DSMV.....and their continuing downward spiral of circulation numbers should, if they had even 10% of a collective brain, tell them that just MAYBE they should go back to reporting the news instead of making it..
Unfortunately, a 'free and unbiased press' has long gone the way of the Dodo bird.. Which means we, as a people, should be smart enough to peruse many other news sources of all types (paper, electronic etc..) in order to obtain as much true information as possible.. Sometimes this can take some real effort..
What kills me is the newly elected majority in the House etc. are, even as I type this, doing whatever they can/must do in order to bring back the 'fairness doctrine' which is anything BUT fair.. These morons are supposed to uphold the Constitution yet, by enacting this crap, will then legally circumvent the First Amendment and effectively silence the majority of talk radio.. Funny in that it won't apply to TV or Cable/Satellite; just radio.. You think it has anything to do with Rush or Hannity? Ya think??
Even though we may not like many things that are protected under the First Amendment, it is what it is and people can accept it or choose NOT to view whatever offends them..

Red Star (Murderapolis Star-Trib..) I didn't type that one for fear of my keyboard bursting to flame. I get your message of "don't support them", and agree. The only way to know what they are doing however is to read or listen to' em. Along with financial undoing, a loud voice of dissent is, in my view, long overdue, newly elected majority in the House etc. are, even as I type this, doing whatever they can/must do in order to bring back the 'fairness doctrine' With every decibel of voice, I'll demand their doctrine be applied to those who been offending the longest: network news, print media, PBS and NPR.

... anyone think this kind of effort can help to turn the left wing tide? Not so much, sorry to say, but it doesn't have to be that complicated IMO. We just all need to 'vote with our feet'. Don't watch their channels, buy their newspapers, or click the links on their websites. Support the media you believe in.
