YOhio, your credibility is shot to hell not posting that clip earlier.

Most episodes of the Daily Show and the Cobert Report should suffice. I find these show very funny despite my fiscal conservatism.

SIEQ has always only wanted the people who love the clip/post/opinion to post.

FYI SIEQ, the WSJ news pages are considered to be one of the more liberal in the business. The only conservative part of the paper are the opinion pages.

You've made this assertion before, but it isn't so. I often just throw posts out there to see what happens.

Repeating your assertion suggests you have a grudge, but for what reason, I can't imagine.

Considered more liberal by whom? I have no way of rating liberalness, that's the first I've heard it's one of the more liberal.

Grudge? I think he's just offering an opinion based on extended personal observation.

His feeling the need to repeatedly offer it suggests a grudge. But then you have one yourself.

Speaking only of the news side of the paper, it was in one of those independent non-partisan media watch group reports. I'd have to dig up which one.

I distinctly remember it because I was surprised at the contrast.
