You're right, it's not hidden. Most news stations are making their leaning quite obvious now days.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

All media is somewhat conservative, if that is what you mean by right wing. As I have said many times, left-wing causes tend to be- Social justice, promotion of civil/human rights, leanings of socialism, decentralization of power, etc.Hunter/Jumper wrote:

Or maybe the fact that they refuse to cover anything good that the adminstration has ever done, anything good the troops have ever done, or the fact that the U.S. government gives the most (I haven't checked the numbers for '06 but its probably the same as before) for Africain aid and other places as well. Oh and independent sources have covered the media bias in the United States.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:

The "mainstream media" covers that kind of stuff all the time right? I think I saw a program on CNN about the killing in Sudan, and how truly bad it is in Sub-Saharan Africa, and how we (the US Government) are sponsoring corrupt dictators across the world, the civil wars in Central Africa, the growing rift between the left leanings of leaders in Latin America...yeah right. That stuff is BORING!
No, you are too worried about making as much noise as possible about the "mainstream media" being left-wing biased because they report about the war and how unpopular GWB is, about his corrupt and unethical Administration, troop casualties and sensationalist stories like the Haditha Massacre; because clearly if you question the President, talk about the administration, cover crimes by troops, etc. then you are a fucking liberal
What about National Review, Newsmax, New York Post, Wall Street Journal, and Worldnetdaily?Ridir wrote:
Those are just two of the many sites that have done studies that have proven the LIBERAL (left) leaning of the Media. Fox News and the Washington Post were the only two major news sources that were on the right side of the spectrum at all.

I think our concept of the middle of the "spectrum" is a little off. Ours being mine compared to yours. My argument still stands. Any report based on the ideas of American Democrats in relation to American Republicans used for finding bias in the media is null and void in my opinion. American Democrats and American Republicans are "two separate heads of the same seven headed dragon."Ridir wrote:

Hence, the reason for why conservatives think the media is liberal. They don't like the reality before them, so they claim the problems are just being revealed out of bias.Ridir wrote:
One reason for this strong left leaning is that when something is going your way you are more likely to not speak out loudly but when it is against your ideals it much easier to shout at the top of your lungs.
