The following argument is guaranteed to win. I've been using it against freepers on Usenet for a few weeks now. Guaranteed to drive them insane.
Them: Some mention of "liberal media".
Response from you: Liberal media? Prove it.
Remember, they're making the positive assertion, therefore the burden of proof is on them. Heck, don't even ask for proof, just ask for evidence.
Here's the only response I've managed to get besides "You're just an idiot if you can't see the obvious."
(Note, this is verbatim, pure copy and paste)
The media's reluctance to report on Clinton's scandle-filled administration.
The media's insistance on fabricating Bush scandals.
Compare: Matthew Sheppard and the gay "hate crime" in Arkansas.
Compare: Abortion v pro-life story coverage.
Dan Rather's inability to hide his contempt for George Bush (election 2000, 9-11, the recent blackout, etc).
Look up: Dowdification
Compare: The treatment of Charles Heston and the liberal of your choice on the Today Show.
John Carroll, editor of the Los Angeles Times's, memo warning reporters to keep their liberal politics out of the news page.
And on and on it goes....
