Do you really think the mainstream media has a left wing bias? If that's true, then why does the so called "leftist media" treat right wing neoconservatives like they were gods who can do no wrong? See article.

Mainstream Media Treats Neoconservatives like Gods.

Well you are using a progressive source as your source, so I would expect them to be critical. If you really think that the mainstream media is pandering to conservatives.........
I think Salon has their panties in a wad over the problems facing the current administration and is lashing out. Every day a new problem crops up and this administration doesn't seem to know how to handle it. Maybe the mainstream media has finally realized that they had the wool pulled over their eyes by the Obamamites and are starting to take a serious look at what is going down. Of course I realize you disagree, but it's my take on your question.

Mainstream media is either center-right (like CNN) or further to the right (like Fox). MSNBC is somewhat of an anomaly, but they're just just progressive and I'd say that's more moderate.
There is no real left-wing in America. We're a right-wing country.

I think most of the media has a bias for sensationalism, oversimplification, buzz words/phrases, and all other manner of other things which draw viewers/readers through the use of easily digestable bits of fluff which get a reaction from the unthinking populace.
Although the article is an opinion piece, it's well linked to factual sources.

That's an odd viewpoint. I wonder if non-fox republicans have the same opinion.

Well as of today, 19-6-14, Obamas approval index is at its lowest:
52% Disapprove
40% Strongly Disapprove
67% think the country is on the wrong track
Obama Approval Index History - Rasmussen Reports™
As far as his handling of foreign policy only 37% support his handling of foreign policy
Obama foreign policy supported by only 37% of Americans: Wall St.-NBC poll - National Conservative | Examiner.com
And it appears that Chuck Todd NBC's chief political correspondent says that the American public is telling Obama his "presidency is over"
from: Media Drop the F-Bomb On Obama: A failed president? | Fox News
Yes it is a FNC link but only reporting what Todd said on MSNBC
So, to answer your question it appears that the majority of the American public agree with my view point. It makes no difference if you watch FNC or not. Unless Obama can turn things around, he might as well play golf for the next 2 1/2 years.
A Hillary presidency will just be more of the same with more gun control which will just peal off more of her base.
They never learn.
Sadly, Republicans will not be much of an improvement.

I would hope we could get someone besides Clinton's and Bushes in the White House.

From the Rasmussen, 47% approve, 52% disapprove.
I understand your viewpoint, but if you're talking approval numbers, the GOP & TP fare much worse.
To get on topic I have seen a change recently with the press moving away from Obama worshiping
Recycled the hard drives really?
Even the left is becoming concerned.

I was listening to rush on my drive over to Naples today. He was focused on the recycled HD's. He mentions that the IRS are targeting TP groups, but never mentions democratic groups. Don't you think it's important to be honest?
But I understand Rush and what he does.

Are you saying that Tea Party groups are not democratic? However, I am assuming you mean those that support your philosophy. But you can't prove it because all the information has been lost. Wasn't that convenient of the IRS. Wonder if that will work if I ever get audited?...... Sorry all of that information was lost when my hard drive crashed and my dog ate the hard copies.

I was mentioning that the IRS scandal that Rush talks about is only focused on TP groups. He never mentions that the IRS also scrutinized left groups. Which is fact.
Remember, fox, rush and RW media aren't paid to tell good things about the democrats. They're paid to leave out information to create a fear bubble that nothing is positive with this administration. This only leaves people who don't fact check in the dark to the facts.
Never listen to Rush

He's the conservative 'leader' when it comes to viewpoints. Fox seeks his advice, etc.
Rush is paid millions of dollars to instill fear in Americans to vote against the democrats. That's all it is.
I've said this before, Rush is a very smart intellectual individual (which I view myself as well.) He just uses that ability for the wrong reasons. A lot of these RW media guys would be great used car salesman.

Agreed. I don't mind the musical side but their lead singer makes my head hurt.

You should. His tactics are a hilarious and insightful education in the use of argumentative fallacies and rhetorical techniques to successfully persuade the simple-minded.
