I found this UCLA/Stanford study on bias in the media very interesting reading. I've always believed the media is slanted to the left, but wasn't aware to the degree it slants to the left.
Notice who's the most biased. And here's a link that keeps tabs on CBS's Dan Rather.
Thought even those who are so quick to criticize ANY conservative media sources, but especially The Drudge Report and Fox News as not being creditable might find this study interesting too. Especially since the two of them were found to be the MOST on 'center' of all.

Dennis Miller had a very funny guest on last week. I think he was a white house staffer or something years ago. He was asked about the polls liberals point to to say "see the media isn't biased". He laughed and said those polls were useless because people lie and if you asked say, Karl Marx, how he would classify himself, he'd say "moderate".
He said just ask ANY of the news people on screen or their producers a simple question: "Have you EVER voted for a Republican presidential candidate?"
