No liberal bias in the media?

It's not really hard to see examples of liberal bias in the media every day. You just have to be tuned in.

Here's an example from this week. It's regarding the whirlwind of scurrilous allegations about President Bush's service in the National Guard during the Vietnam war period. Reckless allegations that have already been trotted out in the 2000 campaign. But the Democrats are still throwing the charges that he didn't show up for duty. So the White House releases his pay records from that period showing that he did. The radio headline for that story:

"White House releases evidence, controversy still swirls".

Nice bland headline, with a bias. It's only controversial to those making the charges. It's not controversial to me.

The correct headline should be:

"White House releases evidence: Democrats continue unfounded scurrilous accusations".

By the way. We don't need to rehash Bush's military service to know what kind of wartime Commander-in-Chief he would be. We already know. And I approve.
