We all know there is media bias - it has been very evident this election season. I suppose it's something that we've come to expect. It has been tolerable as long as one of the branches of government was led by Republicans. In that regard it can be justified as a necessary "check and balance." My concern is that if all three branches are controlled by Democrats and the media is also left-leaning - the system is set up for corruption. Not because the left is any more corrupt than the right - but if the balance of power is already tilted one way and then the the media jumps on that side of the scale too - it makes for an interesting scenario. Check out this study of this year's election coverage.

Darn that Fox News network...so obviously tilted towards the right.
oh wait...
I'm not denying media bias. But I would say that McCain's campaign made it very easy for the alleged bias to manifest itself.
Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men.
