Well, if you rely on Fox News and the Weekly Standard and Bill Kristol and publications/people like that, then almost every source that is in the middle is going to look extremely left.

People on the right constantly whine about the left lean of the media, but it simply is not true. I know, because I am a leftie, and many of the news sources are too far to the right for my tastes.

So you like to listen John Stewart and Colbert as have interesting and accurate comentary on the news? They are far from the middle. They are as left as Rush is right. BTW I listen to none of them.

So which are more flaming liberals? Then - or Colin Powel? It was decreed by mainstream Republican party leaders: Colin Powel is a flaming liberal. Who is more lefty liberal?

John Stewart and Stephen Colbert are comedians, silly man. And Rush is an entertainer. He is no more a journalist than I am.

And I know you watch Bill O'Reilly. :p

yea, sometimes. not so much anymore. But he is a commentator. I use to agree with about 80% of what he said. now it is more like about 70 or 65% if I had to guess. But I enjoy listening to his commentary about the news.
