On the site you referenced, this is what stood out for me.
That just says, "if I don't believe it, the study is invalid." |
As you've read, I have no disagreement that all types of media are biased one way or another, and that there are more liberal media outlets than conservative.
My bitching about FNC is their "Fair & Balanced" slogan because it's untrue and it's deceptive. The New York Times has always said of itself, "All The News That's Fit To Print." To me that is an accurate statement. No claim of impartiality, no deception, plus it's a slogan on a newspaper not a constant slogan on TV.
Re that study, I read it differently than you do, but I understand where you're coming from and I see your point of view. My point, again, is that it's moot because most people know the political leanings of the station they're watching or listening to or reading.
But, when I read here people posting that Liberals are crazy to accuse FNC of being conservative it seems insane to me and I then have trouble believing anything that person writes.
FNC is biased right, the NY Times is biased left. Can anyone disagree with that?
