The Liberal Conservative Press

I often find myself in conversations where people are accusing the press of being either too liberal or too conservative. Yes, there are differing opinions depending on where you get your news (or what your news outlet tells you about its competition). Today, I read one of the most articulate articles on the press - and author Eric Boehlert doesn't feel the need to label anything. He simply uses the current media frenzy about the alleged tension between Obama and Clinton at the DNC as his proof. If you are interested, it is a great read. You may find the site either too liberal or too conservative, but they hunt for media inconsistencies, on both sides of the fence, pretty fervently.

I've never been a big fan of either Clinton, but can't help but be sympathetic to Hillary this past year. Watching how the press fawns over Obama and yet takes her to task for the silliest of reasons; I feel like she's being picked on by a bully and want to stick up for her.
