Myth Of Liberal Media Bias Destroyed

Myth Of Liberal Media Bias Destroyed As Study Finds Conservatives Dominate Sunday Shows

The Times tried to explain away the distribution as slightly lopsided, but that was just excuse making for a pattern of systemic corporate media conservative bias. Tim Russert is considered the gold standard among Sunday morning hosts, but during his time at Meet The Press, Republican guests outnumbered Democratic guests by a 2-1 margin.

Doesn't matter, study after study shows there is no "liberal bias" -- in fact on fiscal policy and foreign policy it's the opposite. But the Fox Newsies will still cling what their masters tell them.

 

[Iron Head]

Sorry, but that "study" does not prove its assertion. There is clearly a legit bias in the news media in terms of story selection and placement, opinion shows, and editorialized programming.

Are you really this dense?

Depends how far you lean. If you're out on a limb one way or the other, everything looks like bias. I think that's what you're feeling. The average person just sees differences of opinion. Wingnuts see conspiracy.

On what issues? Social issues? Bfd.

On fiscal matters the media is owned and controlled by 7 corporations.

The media has been taken over. 1997 media deregulation act. Look it up.

That's a pretty funny article. Doesn't even come close to addressing the bias in gun stories where virtually never are defensive uses reported on, yet every single criminal use is. Add to the the biased reporting of man caused global warming and yes, there is a clear progressive bias. A blind person could see it.

 

[Two Thumbs]

on Sunday, a show had more gop guests


yea, that destroys the absolutely irrefutable fact that the media is pure leftist.

or not

mostly not



ok, all not


For this all not bullshit to have a chance, msn, abc, cbs, nbc, hln, cnn would have to go off the air for a year.


or 2


maybe 3


decades.

How do you eat the left's shit with your head buried in the sand?

1996 actually. Telecommunications Act of 1996, which fundamentally changed how media ownership and cross-ownership works --- which, while it was being developed, garnered a grand total of nineteen minutes of coverage from the parties who stood to gain from it. If you weren't part of the broadcast industry, you probably heard nothing about it.

That would be nineteen minutes combined -- from all commercial news sources put together.

That's how ClearChannel bloated itself up to over twelve hundred radio stations.

Without taking the time to read the article -- "defensive uses" would obviously not make news like a "criminal use" would. The former is passive nonaction; the latter is action. Action (this just in) $ells. That's uh, why we have so many local studios presenting "Action News".

If commercial news, particularly TV news, has a bias it's to the sensational. Fires, floods, shootings (preferably with gory victim stories), scandals, fear and loathing. It shouldn't be news that that's "news".

Nobody, anywhere, makes money from espousing an ideology. Ideologies don't sell. Emotion does.

Check the local press everywhere and you will find many, many reports of defensive gun usage every day. You almost NEVER hear about those uses at the national level. But the national news loves to have criminal uses as often as possible.

So what you're saying is, ignore the Leftist crap you see and hear from 95% of the media and instead believe a "study". Yeah ok, I think I'll take reality for $100 Alex.

Whoa now there mister ... You aren't being very average ... How are we supposed to think there isn't any bias in that statement ...

Oh I've seen the local press, and no that's not what I see at all. The focus is always on all the disastrous cataclysmic woe-is-us crap I already described. That's what grabs attention, and attention is what they're after. Attention means ratings, and ratings mean money.

Nobody does commercial news to supply a public service. There's no money in that, and real news is expensive. Their goal is profit, period. And profit means attention-grabbing, and attention-grabbing means action, disaster, fear and loathing. So that's what's sought. It's why we have the truism, "if it bleeds, it leads".

I'm allowed. It's been my career.

Plus I got a note from da teacher. See?

And btw ---- nothing about me is "average", m'dear.

I think that you meant to say the repeal of the the Fairness Doctrine in 1987.

Anyone claiming there isn't a liberal bias in the media is either lying or stupid.
