I'm not even a conservative, although I align with American conservatives because of the principles they are trying to 'conserve' are libertarian ones. I'm a libertarian.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_bias_in_the_United_States
In a survey conducted by the American Society of Newspaper Editors in 1997, 61% of reporters stated that they were members of or shared the beliefs of the Democratic Party. Only 15% say their beliefs were best represented by the Republican Party. This leaves 24% undecided or independent.
A 2002 study by Jim A. Kuypers of Dartmouth College, Press Bias and Politics, investigated the issue of media bias. In this study of 116 mainstream US papers, including The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and the San Francisco Chronicle, Kuypers stated that the mainstream press in America tends to favor liberal viewpoints. They argued that reporters who they thought were expressing moderate or conservative points of view were often labeled as holding a minority point of view. Kuypers said he found liberal bias in reporting a variety of issues including race, welfare reform, environmental protection, and gun control.
Conservative critics of the media say some bias exists within a wide variety of media channels including network news shows of CBS, ABC, and NBC, cable channels CNN, MSNBC and Current TV, as well as major newspapers, news-wires, and radio outlets, especially CBS News, Newsweek, and The New York Times. These arguments intensified when it was revealed that the Democratic Party received a total donation of $1,020,816, given by 1,160 employees of the three major broadcast television networks (NBC, CBS, ABC), while the Republican Party received only $142,863 via 193 donations. Both of these figures represent donations made in 2008.

Love your government and be thankful for everything it does for you is the message you can see riddled in the news.

You can find just as many studies showing conservative bias.
People just tune out what they agree with as they see it as "normal" but make a fuss every time they see something they don't agree with.

No you can't. Just look at the wikipedia section on "conservative bias."

Actually why would indoctrination matter in this instance? They're talking about allowing 17 year olds to vote in the primaries. That isn't a inter-partisan vote.

First, Wikipedia as a source? Really?
Secondly, there's plenty there.

Firstly, I'm not citing wikipedia as a source. I was referring to an online encyclopedia which collects sources itself for people to read and organize called wikipedia. If somebody were to find sources on a conservative bias they would have.
Secondly, the whole conservative bias article was a refutation of a liberal bias. Furthermore it specifically mentions and cites an academic source which verifies that there have been more studies verifying a left than the populous media than not, and consequently more than a right to the populous media.
Quite obviously with your blind declination of wikipedia I can tell that you just mimick what people tell you. Wikipedia is not an academic source, that does not mean it can't be used to find academic sources and information. In fact, it's quite a good tool for finding information, especially if you read the history logs of the editing. Most academics use wikipedia for this reason.

It can affect how they think before thye have to get out on thier own. Its different when your at moms house then when your out working. There is no such thing as a right to vote.
