If you just treat everything you hear with skepticism, be it from Fox News, NPR, CNN. AP, talk radio, blogs,....and take the time to find out whether the "facts" and "analysis" you are being fed have any basis in reality, you'll find that spin and smear come from every part of the political spectrum, from far left to far right and everything in between. I have a hard time not laughing when some of the people who complain the loudest about the bias in the "liberal" media turn around and parrot lies and smears about Obama they heard on talk radio or read on the internet.
