Media bias? Naw...
Want to do a funny experiment?
Go to the New York Times and do a search on Susan Sarandon.
8 hits, including the obligatory anti-Republican message. She is a Hollywood Actress, not engaged in a high profile movie project or debut right now... but rabidly anti-President Bush.
But do a search on Nobel Prize. You won't find this story - where Nobel Prize winner (in Economics!) Edward Prescott says President Bush's tax cuts weren't steep enough... but you will find a story saying that a lot of people thought Prescott shouldn't have been awarded the prize in the first place.
Incidentally, it's not just the New York Times that's guilty here. You'll find similar treatment in the Washington Post, Miami Herald, the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the Detroit Free Press and the Los Angeles Times.
Makes you wonder why people got so upset about Dan Rather being caught of having a bias... heck - this should hardly come as news to people.
