Hey, all, Melissa here.
Something a little self-indulgent today, since as a reporter, I'm obviously concerned with the way audiences view our role.
Have fun watching the debate tonight! Look forward to hearing what you think on that tomorrow....
Do you trust the media and their covering of the election? Do you think there is a liberal bias? Is it a problem for commentators (and bloggers...) to have a bias? What should the media be doing differently?

Anyway, despite everyone's opposition to Fox News - it is the only conservative (or at least, non liberal) news outlet on television. And it hasn't been around that long. Prior to FOX, the only news you could get was from a liberal slant. That continues to be true today in the paper media (newspapers etc.).
Too many unjustified assumptions. Liberal bias in the mainstream media is a myth.
If you don't know what liberal means, you are on the wrong discussion board.
No kidding, really? However, since I assume we are not talking about the definition of "liberal" from 1856 or something, I imagine we can define a "liberal" as a person who is:
Socially Liberal: Pro gay-rights, pro-choice etc. But also pro-politically correct speach, pro-affirmative action etc.
Fiscally Liberal: Pro government aid to the underprivleged, pro progressive tax system, pro interventionist economic policy etc.
In general, the definition of "liberal" in today's world goes hand in hand with "socialist." Do we really have to have a semantics discussion here?
