ABC News: The worldview of the dominant media can be seen in every frame of video and every print word choice that is currently being produced about the presidential race...

It's probably paranoid and unrealistic to assert that every frame of video we see is politically biased. But, from what I'm seeing, it's probably a good idea to consider that possibility constantly: even cartoons have political agendas these days...

The Guardian has a puff piece on Matt Groening. It's basicly just an ad selling a release of his old "Life in Hell" comic strip for the first time in Britain. But I noticed an interesting admission at the end of it:

The Simpsons took on a life of its own and the first full episode was broadcast in 1989. It has now run for more than 300 episodes, watched by over 60 million people in more than 60 countries every week, and has spawned a multi-billion dollar merchandise industry. Celebrities have flocked to appear on the show, with Tony Blair among the most recent....

He discusses his early career in the latest edition of Word magazine, in which he is also challenged over making Blair 'too handsome and too much of a superhero'. Groening replies: 'Well we did this before all the war stuff blew up. We didn't realise he was going to be so much in the pocket of George W. Bush.

Translation: Our cartoon character depictions reflect our politics. We would certainly have drawn Blair worse if we had realized he didn't align more closely to our views.

You know, looking for leftist bias in the media is about as difficult as looking for trees in a forest.
