It's amazing how biased the media is..even online.

There are plenty of things on the Democrat side that are just as questionable..but they aren't talked about. Why is that?

Here is a good example:

I don't understand. You gave an example of something that "isn't talked about in the media" by posting a link to a major media outlet talking about it?

Your usage of Democrat in this post betrays your own bias.

I don't think the point of this article was "Republicans are scummy", because everyone knows the Democrats are too.

The only thing this article made me think was "Damn it, we were so close!"

Who's biased? The original doc was newsworthy and so is this. I'm sorry if that creates a problem for your loyalties.

"The bias of the media is towards sensationalism and laziness"

Because the thing being talked about in there never went before anyone in Congress. If you read the article, it reports on what three people said Sen. Leahy was discussing. The official word from the Senator is that he would not support such measures. http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57552687-38/leahy-scuttles...

Feel free to post those things...right now we are talking about Republicans.

The responses to this prove my point.

Thanks

what exactly was your point...your submission history isn't exactly jumping with submissions demonstrating it.

A friend of mine used to think he was the best debater around. His primary technique? Declaring his argument proven without even making any claims.
