I'm no great fan of the media, as I've made clear on this board and the other.

It's easy. Editorial control lies with the editors/reporters. Most editors/reporters are incapable of being unbiased. Editors/reporters are 10X more likely to be liberal than conservative.

What I can't understand at all is how conservatives who otherwise seem to grasp how markets work go stupid when they start to discuss large corporations that are in the business of selling advertising with their programming. It's like the normal rules of reason and logic are suspended when you start talking about the liberal media.

This is really irrellevant in this case - killing/bad stuff sells. Rebuilding schools does not.

What's what you suspected? I don't think there is a Dem party line, but if there was one I wouldn't toe it.

Well let's go down the line. I'll list issues and you tell me what side you are on. To simplify this, just answer "for" or "against." Feel free to list any others.

1. Abortion
2. Affirmative action
3. Right to die
4. Bush tax cuts
5. War in Iraq
6. Minimum wage increase
