'''Media bias''' is [[advocacy journalism]] gone wild, where one-sided arguments masquerade as objective reporting. It "is rarely expressed through distortion of the facts, but rather through the omission of certain facts that would be inconvenient for the outlook of the person or group reporting."<ref>[http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/272131/measuring-media-bias-nat-brown?pg=2 Nat Brown] - ''[[National Review]]''</ref>

A good example is [[Paul Krugman]]'s claim, in his New York Times opinion piece, that "Everyone knows that the American right has problems with science that yields conclusions it doesn’t like."<ref>[http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/10/first-they-came-for-the-climate-scientists/?emc=eta1 First They Came For The Climate Scientists]</ref> This statement completely ignores the much worse "problems" the [[American left]] has with science, specifically the climate science which refutes the [[junk science]] used by liberals to prop up their [[global warming theory]] and their "solution" to the "crisis" (see [[Kyoto Protocol]], [[carbon credits]], etc.).
