here's my take on the media: first of all, it's a business. sponsors pay the bills of cnn. if the sponsors don't like what's being broadcasted, they'll pull their sponsorship. sponsors are usually very large organizations, that usually have some political influence. usually with the republicans. the media is not left. they try to present themselves that way to throw off the fact that they have a hand in g.w.'s pocket. exactly what happened with bill maher, the main media outlets live in a constant fear that that will happen again, to them. saying the media is left is ridiculous
