Is this biased reporting?

I have social democratic tendencies. I agree with your sentiment that there is little socialism in the trends of American domestic policy.

Your comments smack of student activism, and while I'm sure that they are heartfelt, I would suggest that you reflect a bit more before adopting such a view without compromise. Your general sentiments about capitalistic excess are worth exploration - unfortunately, your all or nothing approach has been done to death...a century ago. Anarchism is not a viable alternative - In America, neither is outright socialism. I'm not sure what the answer is - perhaps democratic reform within the liberal paradigm could lead to more humanistic attitudes towards the weak and poor? It's an open question whether the strict constructionists in America would ever accept that. What I DO know is that the answer is not simply the application of another one-size-fits-all 'ideology implant,' as you seem to be implying ought to be the case.
