| | ::"The media has a liberal bias." How is it that an entity such as "the media" -- assuming that we can talk about it as an undifferentiated lump, which is problematic in itself -- would have an institutional bias that ran contrary to the interests of the people who own most of the outlets that make up what we think of as "the media?" Television networks and stations, radio networks and stations, magazines, newspapers, movie studios, record companies and in the context of this little article, book publishers are all - and over the last decade, decade and a half, increasingly so - owned by fewer and fewer large companies that are completely imbricated in corporate structures. Why - and more importantly how - would the corporate elites who own the media spend billions and billions of dollars to put out a "liberal" message that allegedly embraces a "party line" that would lead to their own loss of wealth and power?

But, tell me what part(s) of it are biased, and if I can see where you are coming from then I will gladly admit I am wrong. --[[User:ITSAMEMARIO|ITSAMEMARIO]] 17:56, 12 June 2008 (EDT) | | ::: Well, I have read ''America: Pathways to the Present'' and I didn't personally didn't see any bias in it.
