Don't get me wrong - I totally agree. But I know if I post it on another site I'd have to "back it up"

Liberals always come down on the side of facts ... never opinion.

And I'm dying to know where this liberally-biased media is that they speak of. They always try to say that MSNBC and CNN are liberal, but both of those networks have conservative commentators on all the time. Plus MSNBC gives Joe his 3 hour show every weekday morning while everyone else only gets one hour, and CNN's Erin Burnett has been slandering the Occupy movement.
