Re: Book: Liberal Media Distorts News Bias
"Fox News is clearly more conservative than ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and National Public Radio. Some will conclude that 'therefore, this means that Fox News has a conservative bias,'" he writes in an advance copy provided to Washington Whispers. "Instead, maybe it is centrist, and possibly even left-leaning, while all the others are far left.
Can you cite any examples of ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC or NPR in which they take a member of the Democratic party involved in a sex scandal and label him as a Republican?
Can you come up with anything even CLOSE to that?

Re: Book: Liberal Media Distorts News Bias
What is that supposed to prove? That those news sources don't have a liberal bias?
There is no "liberal bias".
Conservatives didn't like Wikipedia because of it's "liberal bias" so they started their own Conservative versions.
Wikipedia is created by and maintained by the PUBLIC.
That means that the PUBLIC has a "liberal bias"?!?
That's ridiculous.
The Conservatives think that the country adheres to their ridiculous views on everything. When they discover that they are wrong, they pout and say it's unfair.
Guess what, we aren't going to be living under Mosaic Law no matter how much you kick and whine.

Re: Book: Liberal Media Distorts News Bias
I'm having a hard time trying to follow your logic; that's if you even tried to make an argument. It seems like a bunch of disconnected thoughts to me. So, if there is no liberal bias in the media , then I'm sure you would agree that there is no conservative bias in the media as well?
You are the one that seems confused.
I'm going to use math for an example.
0 is neither a negative nor a positive number.
-1 is a negative number
+1 is a positive number
Imagine a scale from -10 to +10.
On this scale, a -10 represents the Conservative ideal world. A +10 represents the Liberal ideal world.
I pick negative for Conservatives because they consistently oppose forward movement in anything, desiring to revert America back to the imaginary world they think existed in the 1950s.
So, from the Conservative perspective, if the media scores a "0", they would be without any bias whatsoever.
The problem is that the PUBLIC and REALITY are at about a "3" on the scale.
In fact, news organizations would have to institute a Conservative bias just to get to "neutral" between what the Conservatives want and what the Liberals want.
This is because the Conservatives are OUT OF TOUCH.
So, from your perspective, there is a bias because news organizations report facts and facts are unfavorable to your positions.
The exception is Fox News, which doesn't report facts, it reports opinions which have been handed to them by Conservative political figures.
You can LITERALLY see them reading the Conservative Talking points as if it were news.
It's not "unfair" that the media doesn't lie in order to make things nicer for your opinion. Your opinion is wrong because it's based on a fantasy.
45% of Conservatives believe they are in the top 10% of earners in the country. Think about that.
