Debate:Does the media really have a liberal bias? (view source)
Revision as of 22:10, December 25, 2008
, 22:10, December 25, 2008→Yes
This is a difficult question because of shifting/tricky definitions of liberal & conservative. Conservative can variously mean neo-con (ie, big gov't conservative) to libertarianism. Populism can be an oppressive combination of the left & the right. If "liberal" means leftist (ie, secular big-gov't welfare state), then I see this orientation as a slight overall bias of combined radio, TV & print media. My personal observation is untrustworthy, but surveys of journalists show that Democratic Party orientation predominates. Of course, many individual sources will be exceptions. I believe the safest course is to seek reliable sources of different stripes to get a broader picture.[[User:Tom Stockton|Tom Stockton]] 21:38, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

unfortunately, there is no such thing as a "neutral media"
the big 3 - ABC, NBC, CBS, also PBS, CNN, are all liberal, with TIME and newsweek, also New York Times.
mass medias are pretty much took over and monopolized by liberals now
For FOX, it is more conservative (at least balanced), and so ends up often get bashed.[[User:Kmcheng|Kmcheng]] 17:10, 25 December 2008 (EST)
