Looking at this page it is not at all telling of your bias, HAHA. you try to say you just critisized Bush and Rove Cheney and Limbaugh are stiring the pot with political poison. Also your other reporter thinks that we must lift the Embargo on Cuba. These are both adds on the edge of the page, but your investigation into how much and which banks took bail out money and which banks did not need it and which citizens were going to have to PAY off this mess is very lacking. No real reporting here just political spin. And that spin is going to help put everyone who pay's taxes further in debt. How much have we gaurntied now 10 trillion (ball park). Now you Know why newspapers are looseing readers. Good luck with that.
