I don't know if it's purposefully biased, or what.

Picking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Ailes>a former Nixon and Reagan media strategist</a> to run a network that definitely holds to the Republican party line isn't purposefully biased? I do not doubt that one's personal political leanings will definitely color whether one perceives a particular network as leaning left or right, but one can tell when something leans more one way or the other. I would put CNN and the rest of the networks into the pandering camp. I mean, CNN did function like an actual news organization at some point, when Ted Turner still owned it. But nowadays, they don't question because they don't want to be seen as dissenting, or give the pretense of objectivity. And I think too many people have the illusiion that just because they watch a 24/7 news channel they're being well-informed.

More proof that with enough education, the scourge of conservatism can be rid from the world. :P
