Of course it goes both ways, but that doesn't mean it's equal. Yes, Fox News leans towards Republicans, nobody sane disputes it. And a few newspapers do too, the Wall Street Journal being an obvious newspaper on the Republican side of things. But that pales in comparison to the media as a whole. Fox News, for example, is constantly derided by every Democrat as being the hate channel, essentially, the mouthpiece of Republicans ... yet Democrats can't seem to understand that this is exactly how Republicans feel about MOST of the "liberal media". Fox News is annoying to Democrats for the very reason it IS different than the rest of the media, it really does lean towards Republicans, it is one of the very few.
You keep using relativism to justify whatever you are saying, "it goes both ways" as an example - yes, and the Amazon "goes both ways" on rare occasions when the moon is close enough the river can reverse course for a short time and distance and actually flow backwards ... but that doesn't mean it usually does. In another series of thoughts you are trying to say that some minister who attended Palin's church makes her church the same as Reverend Wright because it goes both ways, but no, it doesn't ... one or two occurrences of something doesn't make it the same thing.
You still can't admit that the media is biased towards Democrats.
