→Irony Beyond Irony: liberals make false claims about lots of things, including bias itself!
So the examples posting on the media bias page link to Christian Broadcasting Network, Newsbusters, Worldnet Daily, Jihad Watch, and Israel Insider..... Do you not see the irony in this? [[User:SirJim|SirJim]] 18:32, 12 July 2007 (EDT)

:Can you be more specific, or are we simply to assume that by making the charge you have made the point? Liberals typically do this: they state ''as fact'' something which isn't true, hoping that the listener or reader will not notice that they provide no [[evidence]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:56, 10 August 2007 (EDT)
==Scientific bias==
Cut from examples section:
#Bias avoiding: Ironically, attempts to avoid bias may themselves induce bias. This is particularly evident in popular reporting of scientific news. If the vast majority of scientists in a field support one position, and a minority support an opposing position, media may feel obliged to give equal air time to both sides - thus introducing a bias towards the minority position.
This is the typical argument given about [[global warming]]. Liberals pretend (1) that the vast majority of climate scientists support the theory that global warming is mostly caused by human activity, and (2) that media have been "giving equal time" to both sides. Neither is true. It's in fact just the opposite.
Most scientists ''do not'' support the theory (see [[Anthropogenic global warming]]). And the media give well over 90% of time and space to scientists (or pundits and partisans ''citing them'').
So we have the irony of liberal bias ''about'' media bias! --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:56, 10 August 2007 (EDT)
