r80RT,
Yep, you are a hater. As am I apparently. We offer a differing point of view, and despite all statements asserting fair and open discourse, that only applies when one agrees with a liberal (or progressive, or socialist, take your pick) viewpoint. When you disagree, you are labeled. That, quite frankly, is OK with me. I believe what I believe and neither NPR nor MSNBC nor Fox News is making a dent in that. They all have something to offer, none is without bias.
Car Talk.... I love those guys, but really, check out Terry Gross. She makes no attempt to hide her liberal sympathies. There are numerous other examples.
I also realize that I am not about to change any opinions here, people already have an established belief as to the bias of the media (either left or right). I don't deny the bias from conservative organizations. It just steams me when liberals make statements with absolute, supreme confidence that their position is the only possible answer. I would never label Eamon as a "hater" for holding a position different than mine. It is his right to do so. It is also my right to respectfully disagree, one would hope without having a label attached to me.
