I don't see the difference between USA and the Phoenix  -- other than the
medium and the point of view.  I can't imagine anyone listening to USA and
thinking they were objective.  Though I don't think they announce their
bias, they make no attempt to hide it.

How are they different from Pacifica radio?  Don't they distribute news from
a far left viewpoint to public radio stations.
