So, you think the media's not biased?
Trauma-san:
Funny shit: Dan Rather & 60 minutes have devoted 4 shows to this deal about President Bush being AWOL from National Guard duty. They keep throwing it, but it won't stick, lol. So, Bush released all of his records from his time in the Guard, everybody thought that was the end of that.
Anyways: Rather & Co. mysteriously get 4 documents that weren't in the stuff Bush released, and ran a big special on it Sunday night, right? The documents are from the 70's, and say things like Bush was released because he didn't take a physical, etc...
So, the family of the guy who supposedly wrote all of the documents comes out and says 1. he wouldn't have wrote or kept anything like that, and 2. the wording is all wrong, he didn't talk or write like that, and 3. He had remarked to them before about what a great guy Bush was.
Some net geek figures out that the font used on the papers, supposedly from the 70's, is actually a font that wasn't invented or used until Microsoft Word came out in the 80's... the line spacing is impossible on a typewriter, it has superscript not availiable on typewriters, apostrophes not available on typerwriters, basically, the whole thing was typed up in Microsoft Word.
?
So, CBS is doing an 'internal investigation' since apparently THEIR WHOLE FUCKING STORY WAS FRAUDULENT. LOL They're passing it off as official documents from the 70's, printed up on Microsoft Word. Brilliant. Somewhere @ CBS, somebody's packing up their cubicle.
Oh yeah, the media's not biased. They're just to the point where they falsify and invent documents to slander the President of the United States.

Of course the media is biased, they're human like the rest of us. It surprises me that Dan Rather is against Bush. Rather is a Texan afterall and most Texans are for Bush.
Suga Foot:
I believe Fox News is admittedly Republican biased.
Suffice:
All major news networks are incredibly biased. That's why its only OK to read news online on sites like the Christian Science Monitor, which is considered one of the most objective news sources today. It has nothing to do with Christian Science though, thankfully.
