No, you're now just saying the same thing over again. You are trying for the general characterization ("you do this all the time") without the rigor of the specific. When I've spoken of bias or leaning, it's been for specific individuals, for specific reasons, and I have not seen any responses which make me think I was wrong. You want to attribute to me the idea that "it's anti-Bush, so it's biased", and that hasn't been the case. It's akin to the intellectually weak approach on this board of making frequent snide references to Bush's "lies", and then testily backing down, upon challenge, to "but he didn't explain it well enough for me". If your best defense of an assertion is "well, everybody knows that", while pointing to your cohorts, you're probably better off not making it.
