[edit] "Philiosophy" Section Violates Wikipedia Standards

Equating a quote about White House press reporters with Liasson's personal philiosophy doesn't meet accurate source standards. A quote that claims, yet has no relation, to her personal philiosophy is not a legitimate source.

You're absolutely right, but what do you expect from "media matters"? I'm removing it--ridiculous.

[edit] Bias

This article, although short, reveals a bias against Liasson. This is a typical attack on people who are centrist in their politics. Whether Center-Left or Center-Right, people closer to the middle often get slammed by arrogant extremists of both the Right and the Left. A symptom of a divided country where the lunatics on both sides hold the high ground.

I don't see any bias here, but i wonder about the basis of the statements. Where does she describe herself as center left, for example  ? She has been a Republican, works at Fox as well as NPR, has had essentially right-wing-funded journalism grants, and spent 8 years reporting very snidely on the Clinton presidency--which was in clear and marked contrast to previous NPR White House reporting. Center-left? by whose standards ? Actio 05:29, 27 January 2007 (UTC)actio jan 27 07
