I gotta give a lot of Democrats credit

The majority of them admit they can see the bias in the main-stream media:

Voters Give Media Failing Grades in Objectivity for Election 2008

Just 17% of voters nationwide believe that most reporters try to offer unbiased coverage of election campaigns. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that four times as many—68%--believe most reporters try to help the candidate that they want to win.

The perception that reporters are advocates rather than observers is held by 82% of Republicans, 56% of Democrats, and 69% of voters not affiliated with either major party. The skepticism about reporters cuts across income, racial, gender, and age barriers.

I would've guessed quite a bit lower than 56% - in the 30-40% range - so I'm pleasantly surprised.

Of course, maybe that just means that the media bias is so blatantly obvious that even Democrats have to admit it.

There's lots of other very interesting results on that poll, so read up.
