Line 5: − − Reporters and other people in the media are generally better educated than the dudes who get together in the bar to complain about stuff. Therefore, the media has a different, more educated point of view: they know more history, they know more science, they know more about other countries, they know you get what you pay for. The complaining dudes in the bar who think we should just eliminate taxes and bomb all the people who protest against US foreign policy are the majority of the public, but that doesn't make them right. Therefore, yes, the media has a bias, but it's not a liberal bias. It's a bias in favor of an intelligent, educated, well-informed point of view. --[[User:Madonna|Madonna]] 04:57, 7 April 2007 (EDT) Line 14:

The media is not one monolithic entity plus Fox. Some media outlets take a more liberal perspective, some a more conservative one. Talk radio, for example, is overwhelmingly conservative. [[User:Murray|Murray]] 18:22, 5 April 2007 (EDT)

:I must say I do not share your faith in the media. In my experience they are often lazy and disinclined to do any but the most cursory research. --[[User:Horace|Horace]] 05:07, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
