Shannon, It seems to me that the issue isn't so much one of conflicting left and right perspectives in the reporting of the "news". Cut through the smoke and there is only one perspective offered, the sans-national corporate perspective. No questions allowed. This is how the owners want you to think so just shut up and buy the product. You can buy it for conservative reasons or liberal ones it doesn't matter cause they own the media and the pols who they tell you to elect. Critical thought is unamerican.
