text: why is the media liberal-based? okay, clinton was a great president, except for the monica lie. but the media spent more money exposing him as a fraud for that than they did exposing bush and the enron scandal. i don't see how the media is "liberal-based". i think they just do what will make them the most money by attacking everyone in power with whatever they can. can i get a serious answer to why conservatives are constantly whining about how "liberal-based" it is? the media does focus on who is in power and usually will go out of their way to say how everything is wrong and will give cancer.  when clinton was in office it was the right wing conspiracy media.
