FOXNews.com - Critics Decry 'One-Sided' Media Coverage of Climate Change Debate

Is the Main Stream Media (MSM) biased?  It's been firmly established that the MSM is heavily tilted towards the liberal left so is it any wonder that they are biased towards one of the great liberal-progressive causes of the day?

We can no longer rely on the MSM for news and when we do view the news we have to look at it through the prism of knowing they are biased and are probably cherry picking their "facts" or just outright misleading.

Fortunately those of us who are computer literate--actually I'm pretty illiterate but I work at it--have the internet to fall back on.  There is no guarantee that the writers in the internet don't lie but there are so many that by reading more we can ascertain who is objective and who is not.

Some internet writers, like me, give you a hint right off the bat as to how we view things.  Others try to hide behind obscure organizational names and titles to give the appearance of objectivity when, in fact, they are funded by the deep pocket money people of either the far left (very common) or far right (less common but it does occur).

But for many Americans--and Brits, French, Danes, Germans, etc.--the internet is not the option but TV news is.  Is it any wonder that people get confused?  Their common sense says, "Hey, that doesn't sound right!" but the MSM keeps repeating the mantra over and over and over again until it becomes truth.

Let's see, what information minister from the 1930's and 1940's came up with the idea that a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth?  I believe he represented an unpalatable cause but the truth of his discovery on how to best use the radio and newspapers to indoctrinate a people is immutable.  The lessons from that discovery are not lost on the current liberal-progressive-socialists.
