This is what passes for fair and balanced at US Today (right wing bias)
Edited on Tue Feb-08-05 07:29 PM by Democat
Look at the different way the pro-right wing US Today talks about Republicans and Democrats in this article. They try to pretend they are treating each side equally:

Conservative Republicans used to wring their hands about the legacy of red ink being passed on to future generations. But now in power, they cite economists who say that the debt is not all that bad "in context" - meaning as a percentage of gross domestic product.

Liberal Democrats used to defend the national debt as a reasonable cost of stimulating the economy through deficit spending or as a necessary byproduct of funding government programs. Now that they're out of power, they lamely blame the deficit on Bush's tax cuts and wring their hands about the legacy of red ink being passed on to future generations.

1. That's an opinion piece, though. (nt)
