You're absolutely right, it was a good article. However, I hardly
consider "The Tampa Tribune" to be "the liberal media" (they're about as
Liberal as Rush Limbaugh). And aren't the "conservatives" a bit more
likely to buy the entire "MS is good, don't break them up" argument? In
short, yes. That's why with Bush and his band of extortio - err -
buddies, have let MS go with nothing more than a slap of the wrist and
a tap on the butt. By the way, MS is a VERY large supporter of the
Republican party (read: SOFT MONEY, at apporx. $1.2M in the 2000
election). And lets not forget, the Trib supported Bush in the 2000
election as well - Yeah, real liberal media, huh?
Sorry to tell you this, but no matter how "unbiased" media tries to be,
they will always be critizised for slanting their news (great example of
this is O'Reilly. I think he's a "right winder" but some of my friends
think he's a "Liberal"). It's all relative to your view of the world.
YOu know, this brings an interesting point. I was talking to a Canadian
friend of mine yesterday. We were stuck in the middle of an argument
between a Socialist and a Liberatarian. He pointed something out to me
which I found pretty funny.

Frankly, I think that's about right. This country's population tends to
be "Centrist Right" rather than, say Canada, who's "Centrist Left." If
there's any slant in the media, then you can guess which way is swings.
P.S.
If you're at all interested in "the political money trail" a good site
is http://www.laundromat.com. The site is good, the facts seem about
right, but they tend to lean a little left in alot of their views (left
as in Green Party not Democrat). Then again, that's only in relation to
where I stand...
