"Liberal Media"

Some have said that the biggest myth in politics is the liberal media. Whether that is true or not I do not know. But with the recent demotions of Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann from the debates, I have to wonder how much pull the conservative media has. I'll be the first to admit that both of these guys are clearly leaning in one political direction, and that is left. But it's not like there aren't conservative TV pundits that do the same crap (for lack of a better term). The job of a moderator in a Presidential debate is to ask questions and make sure nobody gets out of line. This isn't an interview, it's just asking prepared questions that neither candidate has seen before. What does it matter whether a person from the liberal or conservative media reads it? Nobody is going to be grilling the candidates except maybe one another. And the whole idea of Charlie Gibson getting the interview with Sarah Palin is pretty sketchy. Gibson, by several accounts, is a right leaning pundit. He may not be overly blatant, but it's sort of a generally accepted fact. Why is he not being asked to move over? So he can lob softball questions to the hockey mom? Give me a break.
