ah, while the majority of reporters identify themselves as liberal, the majority of their editors and other higher ups are majorly represented by conservatives.

i think the problem with media is that they choose to cover what will sell them the most papers, magazines, books, and get the most hits on their sites.

i dont think the examples of the headlines is necessarily agenda setting as much as it is being sensationalist to make a profit.
ie the thing about Cheney cussing is old old old, and completely unimportant, but they still report it because its "entertaining."
