the la times article basically lied about what greenspan said in the headline in order to sensationalize the issue. these are all from the LA times article:
| Quote | Greenspan Calls Scandals a Threat to Recovery
..."The U.S. economy is poised to resume a pattern of sustainable growth," the central bank chairman said. But only, he added, after current problems "linger for a bit longer ... and absent significant further adverse shocks."
...He appeared to oppose Congress doing anything to change the way U.S. companies are governed. "Remember, the system is frayed, but it is not broken," he told lawmakers.
...The fact the nation has not taken a steep fall to date is a testament to the economy's new "resilience and flexibility," he said. |

CK; i hate to break this to you, but all media is biased one way or another, although some are more extremely so than others(read; national enquirer, weekly world news)

Sir? May I recommend I load myself into the reverse-thrust tubes and you use my body as decoy-fodder? This will, of course leave me splattered across deep space and unable to complete today's laundry, for which I apologise in advance.

I agree but you can show the difference between moderates who either show both sides (fox) or show neither side (wash times, ny post) with bias, and the obscenely biased ABC, CBS, CNN, wash post, ny times, etc.

All the news shown on television revolves around those stupid Dolt vs. Dolt segments that do nothing except increase rating because the masses enjoy watching people beat each other with objects. Since that isn't aloud, they beat each other w/ politics. If you're 'watching' American news, you're really not getting much except a sound byte.
Argue against that and then go turn on the TV and watch it. Tell me how it goes since I can't stand to sit there.

I agree, it doesn't matter where you get your "news", it's going to have a bias. That is because the stories are written by humans, which by nature are biased. Doesn't matter if it liberal, moderate, or conservative, there is always a slant to the story. That is why you must look at many different sources in order to see the whole picture. But, at the same time, just because sources are biased doesn't mean that EVERYTHING they say is a falsity. If they say a person broke into a house at 2:32 am PST, then I'll believe them. Now, if they say he was a dopped-up crack fiend, I take that with a very large grain of salt. And yes, it is all just a big ratings grab. How else to you explain shows such as "Celebrity Boxing" and "When <insert some asinine noun> attacks!"?
