Re: some pics the media didn't show you
How's this one?
Or this one?
Though to tell the truth, it's ones like this that worry me most.

But then you can find him talking about it on some You Tube videos if you go look, not that he IS a Muslim but that he certainly had a Muslim family and experience in a Muslim community in Kenya. You can also find him speaking Arabic and quoting Muslim sayings with obvious personal experience of their milieu.
And your point is...?
Or to put it another way: So. Fucking. What?

Now THAT'S my kind of president.

Re: Does public radio have a liberal bias?
Probably this got mentioned earlier in the thread, but here's a prime example of media bias: talk radio.
Talk radio started becoming a significant media outlet starting in the 90's, back when the FCC Fairness Doctrine had been dumped and plenty of AM radio stations were ready to be gobbled up by Clear Channel and the like. Talk radio is very much a conservative outlet, in terms not only of the ratio of conservative to liberal shows, but even more so in terms of influence. Who do you think has a bigger voice - Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck, or Thom Hartman and Stephanie Miller?
Face it, conservative hosts tend to be, shall we say, a bit more flamboyant and entertaining, seeing as how they tend not to feel the need to be constrained by facts, decency, or logic.
I'm just saying.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias.
-Steven Colbert
I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.
- John Stuart Mill
