You'll get it on both sides.
But some of the dirt on both of them is perfectly legit as well. It's easy enough to find your own opinion.
Some sources are real slanted. Like today on CNN, they covered Bush and another white house press briefing ABOUT bush. Yet they had a reporter at a Kerry rally, and you could hear Kerry in the background, yet they were doing a story on what howard dean said. Then the anchor asked "any spin coming from the kerry campaign on it"..

Now, I didnt see any one ask about "the spin" coming from Bush.

Thats what I mean by slanted, lol. You have to pick your battles and look between the lines. Many times it's the reporters themselves making the "news" or sound bite in just how they ask questions.

Example: "Isn't it another case of flip-flopping?" versus "Whats your stance on this issue?". Frankly, I just want the answer, not a defensive statement, so I resent leading questions on both sides.

Anyway, I'm hungry..
