I would worry more about the quality, than constantly being worried about the quantity.

The vast majority of mainstream media leans left. It is denied by some but really it isn't that hard to see especially post election. What is a concern is the govt listening to ANY view and taking action to see that that view is countered or supressed. It simply is a slippery slope. The spitefulness and untruthful way that this is being packaged is simply politics at its worst.

The hypocrisy of the right now is just ridiculous. Most of what I read has been critical of Obama's picks and objective on the stimilus package. I don't read or listen to FOX, Rush or the WSJ which are all very right leaning. You guys whine about the media, yet the right dominates the airwaves

If you dont read or listen to Fox, Rush or WSJ then where are you seeing the criticism? There has actually been very little criticism of Obama's picks despite all the tax troubles. The stimlus package is a piece of junk and has been treated as such. There is no hypocracy in the truth. The right has Fox, the left has the rest, the right has the NY Post and WSJ, the left has the rest. The internet is a tossup. The right has AM radio. Like a lot of people are listening to AM radio nowdays. Radio is one of the media outlets that is shrinking along with print . Now with satillite radio, internet radio, music sharing and ipods and other recording devices being incorporated in autos AM radio is losing listeners.

I see the criticism in the TRib, Sun Times and Daily Herald every day...But..it's objective, and not all encompassing, unlike the robot right.

Dellinger, Tiimi, CNFwhatever..face it...There is NOTHING that Obama could or will do that you can support, He is a Liberal and will govern that way so you are screwed. This is how I felt 8 years ago and I figure you will get tired of posting in 6 or 7 months.

Hopefully he doesn't drag us into a war that kills thousands of Americans and the worse thing you can bitch about is that a gay painter in California gets funded to support his profession.

Don't worry..you can still execute innocent Texans on Death Row so all is not lost

Bringing up the resume of the last president up instead of dealing with the issue at hand which is a joke of a package that is being falsely passed off as an economic stimlus when you yourself all but admit it is simply a liberal payback.

If Obama is about leadership or change why aren't his fingerprints all over the biggest spending spree in the history of the world? If he moves to the center like he promised and governs with a bipartisan slant like he claimed he would do then where is he now? I dont blame Obama directly for this piece of crap, it is Pelosi, Reid and the other dregs of Congress and their lackeys the unions and tort lobby that has crafted this junk. But Obama didnt rein them in. We knew there were going to be some unnecessary liberal programs that benefited. But this is a joke.

But do like the rest of the liberals, change the subject to Bush, Iraq, the death penalty or abortion and dont bother addressing the issue at hand.

I agree with Obama/Biden on this so maybe there is hope

I'm sure some will claim bias because of the source but I would like to hear the disagreement
