Sorry it took so long. But here goes...
First of all it's Joe Hayner, second, if you want me to provide facts on how some news programs are liberally biased, you must provide me with
evidence of conservative bias in FOX.
Anyway, heres a little quote from an article on Mr. Tom Brokaw-
Brokaw decried conservative outlets for liberal-media rebuttals as merely cesspools for "commercial nihilism." Radio stations are "instantly
jingoistic and savagely critical of any questions raised about the decisions leading up to, for example, the war in Iraq." Conservative criticism
isn't free speech, but the enemy of free speech: "They suffocate vigorous discourse, the oxygen of a system such as ours, by identifying those who
refuse to conform and encouraging a kind of e-mail or telephonic jihad, which is happily carried out by well-funded organizations operating under the
guise of promoting fair press coverage."
Here's the whole article, read

From a past survey of the national media:
80% have never voted for a Republican President.
86% of the media elite decision makers said they seldom or never attend religious services
53% don't think adultery is wrong
56% believe the U.S. "exploits" third world nations
80% favor affirmative action programs over merit based programs
These same people label conservatives "extremists, radicals, and mean-spirited."

Example of bias: Coverage of Iraq: Kansas Republican Representative Todd Tiahrt, just back from Iraq, says despite what the mainstream media may be
reporting, things are going along quite well there. While the majority of the national media is emphasizing the violence and unrest in Iraq, Tiahrt
says the situation in that country is a lot better than the American public is being led to believe. During his recent fact-finding tour of Iraq,
Tiahrt says he saw more happening than riots, ambushes, and unemployment. "There is some criminal activity, people trying to car-jack," he says,
"but when you look at how dangerous some of our cities are here in America and compare that to the number of troops that we've lost ... it's a
pretty successful story that should be told -- and the national news media has overlooked it." According to the U.S. congressman, Iraqi children
returned to refurbished schools this week, the universities are back in session, every hospital in the nation is functioning, farmers are working
again, and the markets are open. Also, 75% of Iraq now has electrical power, and other utilities are back on line as well. Tiahrt says the country is
definitely making progress in the rebuilding effort, and the main problems still plaguing Iraq are the result of old infrastructure and acts of
sabotage. AgapePress.org You won't hear this from ABC, CBS, NBC, or NPR. Why, because they ONLY report that which will make President Bush and
Conservatives appear in a negative way. It is how the media deceives Americans. Notice how they ALWAYS portray liberals in a positive light. Bias? Do
you have ears to hear?
The above is from the same source.
All news sources have a bias, you can even find conflicting quotes on different ones. Aren't quotes supposed to be exact? Isn't that what these
things mean ""?
