[qq=princeofdarknez]Media is either left or right leaning, depending on who you watch. That's kinda evading the question though.[/qq]

It's not dodging the question, it's the most specific generalization you can form that's still true. "The media" is too broad a term to say anything specific about. Maybe Fox News says they're impartial but are really pro-Republican; then don't watch them. I don't. They do put Democrats on the air and do give both sides of most stories, to some degree or other, so to call it propaganda is a misuse of the term, in my opinion.

Until the news is done by robots which have been programmed by other robots, it's going to be partial to one side or another in some way to some degree. Speaking of which, http://google.com/news is a nice place to get news; it has no human editors, so it's about as impartial as you're going to get on this planet.
