Read Barone's blog

If you don't check it regularly, you should. He has several posts that are particularly good. In this one, I was surprised out how critical he is of the MSM:

You wouldn't know any of this if all you had to rely on was Mainstream Media. They have consistently failed to report the politics of Sheehan—who calls the Iraqi insurgents who killed her son "freedom fighters"—and of A.N.S.W.E.R., the organization that cosponsored the antiwar demonstration last weekend, an organization that supports the dictatorships of Kim Jong Il in North Korea and Fidel Castro in Cuba. You would have to watch Fox News to get this information, to wit, Special Report With Brit Hume last night (transcript evidently not yet available on website). It's hard to avoid the conclusion that Mainstream Media want to promote antiwar demonstrators and that it is willing to deprive its readers/viewers/listeners of information they should have to make intelligent judgments on the movement of which Cindy Sheehan has become an icon. On Cindy Sheehan, as on abortion, Mainstream Media is more interested in promoting their own causes than in presenting an accurate view of the world.

Not much wiggle room there. The MSM is condemned for outright political partisanship and deliberately misleading propaganda. By Michael Barone. Ouch. That has to hurt.
