For you believers in the 'liberal media:' where were they when when we invaded Iraq? They were fawning over Bush and trumpeting how great the US is, that's where. The reality is that tv media is sensational, not liberal, and wants to make money by attracting as many viewers as possible. So sometimes their coverage is slanted to the left and sometimes to the right. What absolutely floors me is that for 7 years they were absolutely in love with Bush. How is it that the media was liberal then? When it comes to the media's coverage of the invasion of Iraq, even people like Dan Rather admit they didn't investigate or question why were going to war - he admits that the media blindly followed the president without question.
And don't even get me started about the media coverage of Hillary Clinton (she was called a witch, a bitch, fat, evil, among other things).
There is no such thing as the liberal media.

Hasselbeck, a co-host of "The View," has started a baby blog. She spoke to Ramin Setoodeh:
Did you get the idea to blog from a certain former co-worker?
No. Every artist loves their own format. I certainly didn't think this was mine.
Are you and Rosie talking?
We e-mail back and forth on a limited scale.
Does your son support Hillary?
That was a joke I made. Senator Clinton sent Taylor a personalized note after his birth, which was very nice. I jokingly said she has his vote.
Why did you take only six weeks of maternity leave?
I can't leave that table too long. Are you kidding me? How would my side ever get told?
They told me you're very busy.
I have a million errands. I have to get a workout in. I'm dreading it right now because I sat down, and once I sit down, the inertia sets in. Do you want to run an errand?
What can I do?
I need 1 percent milk. And can you get me some gluten-free cookies? The bad thing is when I'm at the grocery store, my eyes are bigger than my ability to carry it all home.
Thank you for not being mean.
It's bizarre. People are, like, she must be witchy. I think it's the liberal bias in the media that I'm the one who's argumentative.
