Yeah I hear you there, I lean to the left somewhat, but I still hate it when I see for example some crazed shooter and the left-wing channel's blaming it on gun control and the right-wing are blaming it on the media (games, music, microwave meals, whatever) it's just not the news's place to do that outside of pundits that can say whatever they like as far as i'm concerned as long as they have some opposition from time to time

The Murdoch machine's a funny old beast, for all it's right-wing tendancies it just wants to make money at the end of the day (and fair enough I say) that's why you see it publishing books by Michael Moore (if you can't say anything nice...) ad taking different stances in different locations. In the UK it's slightly tilted to the right with The Sun and The Times (which is actually my paper of choice, you just have to be wary because it can be quite subtle while being somewhat biased) there's Sky News as well but I never watch it.
