To the editor:

Our mainstream national news media are heavily weighted in favor of the Democratic Party leaders and their Left-leaning ideology.

When you have national news media that carry a battle club leading the fight beating up any entity, political position, idea or person whom Democratic leaders oppose and target for destruction, you have corrupt media.

When you have media that can't present the facts and leave the public opinion-shaping to political operatives, and instead picks and chooses headline stories that are slanted to fit their predetermined philosophical action line, you have corrupt media.

Media that quote as their anonymous sources for their lead stories supplied by Democratic talking-point faxes, e-mails and instant messaging, you have fat, lazy, corrupt media.

When, in light of all that, it is established that 90 percent of the Washington press corps votes in lockstep for Democratic candidates, you'd have to be a dummy, or a Democrat, to claim that you are getting unbiased news coverage from that air-headed bunch of self-absorbed liberal showoffs.
