    Schlafly's remarkable definition of "liberal media bias"

    This is at best only vaguely on topic, but I can't resist. In Conservapedia, Andrew Schlafly writes that:

    "Liberal bias" can be defined as the ratio of liberals to conservatives in a group, such that no liberals would equate to zero liberal bias

    So even Fox is liberally biased since it does feature the odd liberal (e.g. Colmes). The only way to be "unbiased" is to exclude liberals altogether. It's really very telling of how these people think.
