I remarked the other day on the seeming biases of the Cable News Talking Heads, and while many from the 90's accused CNN of being the Clinton News Network (and some still do!) Nothing paints the obvious biases better than this video from Slate, put out after Michelle Obama's Monday nights speech. It's between MSNBC & Fox News
Beyond political bias though, notice the tonal quality of each network's remarks - gracious vs. indignant (as an aside, Bill Kristol reminds me of a pimple that needs to be popped)
What's truly suprising though is Chris Wallace's reaction, himself not a talking head but a journalist, I suppose it goes to show the influence that one's environs has on one's mode of thinking and orating.
