If we don't understand our media, and we can't perceive bias from not, then there's no way we can advocate our media. A case in point:
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2007/06/19/savages-assault-cspan/When you pay your cable bill, your local cable company takes some of that money and pays "sub fees" which are a small amount the network charges the local cable provider to carry their network per subscriber. C-SPAN is a privately owned company that does not air advertising. It only charges local cable providers a tiny amount per subscriber (just to cover costs). Hence it is a NOT-FOR-PROFIT entity funded with ZERO taxpayer dollars.
I see this type of crap EVERYWHERE. Asshats!
