Conservatives decry the influence of what they view as “the liberal media” -- network television, public broadcasting, and big-market newspapers that are, in their eyes, pushing a decidedly left-wing agenda. Liberals scoff at the notion that Fox News is anywhere near fair and balanced and commercial radio giant Clear Channel has, in some recent programming, all but eliminated the bar that separates news from editorial opinion. At a time in which the tuned-in public turns from Bill O’Reilly’s “No Spin Zone” to Michael Moore’s Bush-bashing documentary, are the media losing their hallowed place as providers of unbiased news and information?

"The press is no substitute for institutions. It is like the beam of a searchlight that moves restlessly about bringing one episode and then another out of darkness into vision. Men cannot do the work of the world by this light alone. They cannot govern society by episodes, incidents, eruptions. It is only when they work by a steady light of their own that the press, when it is turned upon them, reveals a situation intelligible enough for a popular decision."
— Walter Lipman
