I really hate the claims of media bias as they are really only levied by those who chose not to educate themselves. To put it in Jeff Foxworthy terms: If you think that Fox News is the only fair news source, you might be a redneck.
Having said that it doesn't stop the right from falling all over themselves to point out every instance where the media says something they don't like, which to them proves a bias. This logic is embarrassing but prevalent.
I would like to turn the tables and these simpletons and point out the Republican Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, delivered a very compelling speech regarding big business (Oil companies Valero, Tesoro, and Koch Industries)and how they are undermining the democratic process to bolster their own bottom line, all while hiding behind the false claim of protecting jobs.
The irony is that Fox News did not cover this speech. According to a multitude of conversations and emails that I have received from Republicans over the years, this is a clear example of media bias, conservative media bias, but media bias none the less.
I'm guessing that Fox News didn't cover this particular speech because it doesn't support their agenda and it makes a number of important points that run contrary to the Fox News narrative. See for yourself. I hope to have a video from Countdown with Keith Olbermann containing parts of the speech later today or tomorrow.
