though some media obviously has a more liberal or more conservative position... i think that the fact that journalism, reporting and writing are creative and expressive arts and as such, are naturally more attractive to right brain dominent people. I think that the intentional bias is very minor of most media unless they are upfront about it and that a lot of accidental bias occurs because of the nature of the people doing the writing and reporting.
RawAlex,

This is what politics is. It's "us against them" all the time, everywhere from everyone. What I believe you fail to understand is that your own opinions are VERY subjective (indicative of right brain thinking) and you do not realize that not only is this politics... but you are very guilty of the same thing, all the time. You consistently attack the Right and your views and stances are consistently VERY left of center... not to mention, consistently negative.
You come up with all sorts of rationalizations for your views and opinions, put them forth as fact and refuse to accept the notion that you might be wrong, that there might be more than one right answer, that the other side might have a strong point as well etc.
I honestly don't have any problem with you. I respect your views and opinions because it is those opposing views that define the center for everyone and as such, make argument and a debate the most vital component to a democracy. There can be no center without two sides. If you accept that, then I believe a rational person would have to also know that there cannot be two sides if those two sides do not possess equally strong and almost always equally correct arguments. This is why I don't really argue politics. Not only is it completely futile as these discussions continually demontrate, but it forces you to step to one side or the other and argue a position knowing that the farther you are from center... the more irrational and illogical you are being.
