Do those in the know favor the guy who knows?

Conservative media are all upset that surveys have shown that a majority of the media support Sen. John Kerry for President.

So let's see, reporters who, through their job, are most familiar with the issues, prefer Kerry. Somehow that's bad.

If that's bad then if an auto mechanic (who works on all sorts of cars) says he wouldn't buy a type of car, should one not pay attention to him because his working on cars makes his opinion's biased?

How is that logical?

On the other side, conservative commentators, who aren't known for being strong on accuracy, support Bush.

One would think that people might respect the views of those in the know. Instead, for some reason its bad. And people, despite claims, haven't shown that the journalists' views impact the reporting.

In the end conservatives expect reporting to be conservatives and get upset when it's moderate. Liberals expect reporting to be balanced and get mad when it's conservative. That's why conservatives like FOX, which is unfair and unbalanced, and liberals like NPR which is fair and balanced.
