[Vision2020] Journalist my ass

But are there any liberal/progressive journalists who have the kind of wild
views of Rush and Beck, e.g., that democrats are communists? I don't think
so. Again, you can find bias anywhere. You just find MORE of it on Fox than
anywhere else.

If you or anyone denies this, I offer a challenge. I've done it before but
no one has taken me up on it. Pick your idea of a biased liberal radio or TV
show and we'll listen to it counting the lies and fallacies along the way.
Then we'll turn on Fox for an hour and do the same.
