That's pretty much how I see the bias in the various U.S news media.

You guys are aware that both JD Power and Gallup (IIRC) just released "scientific" polls about this, right?

Oh I agree 100% and thats why I think the poll results were a bit skewed because it seemed that the pro-domestic web pages like this one had it linked. I obviously voted for the American brands as many here did but is that a true reflection of the ABC News voter, whom probably has a negative domestic bias, probably not.

I do think it is working. I doubt this increase in good reports is any coincidence! Yeah I think domestic does mean The Big 3.......err......2.5, for anyone on here, who might be "confused".
