the massive power of the "liberal media" (which rarely shows its face)

O’Reilly: Internet has a well-known liberal bias.

Summoning the mythical boogeyman of the Fairness Doctrine — which would require broadcasters to provide a variety of political views on publicly-owned airwaves — Fox News host Bill O’Reilly warned last night that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “wants total control” over radio airwaves and would seek to reinstate the policy. He claimed that the media features far more liberal voices than conservative, citing newspapers, NPR, and…the Internet:

O’REILLY: A good case can be made there are more liberal voices in the media than conservative voices. The newspaper industry is certainly left. So is the Internet. NBC News almost completely liberal. So is PBS, so is NPR.

Just seconds later, O’Reilly contradicted his fearmongering: “The good news is the Fairness Doctrine will never happen.”

NBC News? The newspaper industry?! The Internet?!?!?
Damn, we're way more powerful than I ever thought!! Why is it so difficult to find any news reporting that isn't far-right biased then? Is it all a trick so that no one suspects that they are all really "liberals"?!
