Is there a right-wing bias to the media?

Answer 1

It's all corporate driven so yes.

Answer 2

I don't know about a right-wing bias but I know that they have a bias on doing the right-thing for Americans = liberal media beating the war drum for Bush

Answer 3

Yes.Most media outlets are owned by a handful of conservative corporations and individuals, and funded by usually economically conservative advertisers who have no need for an educated, alert, independent and critical citizenry. What they need is a dumb, bored, cynical and apathetic public that has abandoned all critical faculties and is easily distracted by celebrity gossip and mindless sports games. A public that will believe anything it is told, or nothing at all, which amounts to the same end result. This pro-corporate conservative bias of the media is well-documented and shows itself in consistent under-reporting or ignoring of any information that would lead people to question the fundamental status quo.
Even Republican Pat Buchanan confessed, "For heaven sakes, we kid about the liberal media, but every Republican on earth does that." Neo-conservative pundit Bill Kristol also said, "I admit it: the liberal media were never that powerful, and the whole thing was often used as an excuse by conservatives for conservative failures."

Answer 4

Yes -- For years people have labeled the press as liberal .

How is it that letting people know about companies who dumped chemicals known to be dangerous to humans in the ground and water and even the ocean a liberal thing .
Or how is reporting that in the 60's that the pollution from smoke stacks was polluting the air .
That installing scrubbers to reduce this toxic smoke from getting into the air is a liberal thing .
All the so called liberal reporting is about our world and what is wrong with it .
How is it liberal to want people to be paid better wages and have health care , homes , and be able to provide for their families .
.

The conservative rich are upset when wages go up and so they raise prices .

It does no good to raise the minimum wage without setting price freezes on say Insurance ,electricity, gas and Taxes .

each time the people who work have more money the rich raise the costs of everything . I go to the malls , car lots , and see hundreds of homes empty in my community .
The mall shelves are loaded and so are the car lots and we seem to have enough food that locks have to be placed on the dumpsters behind grocery stores to prevent people from getting the food out .

Its not a liberal thing to notice injustice .
Its not liberal to notice that we can change for the better .

It is only pig headed conservatives who hate change and have sex on thursday evening at 8;30 pm each week and go to Churches to worship a murderous God .

Answer 5

My understanding was that the media is left-wing biased and I have seen or heard nothing to suggest I was mistaken.

Answer 6

Obviously talk radio is biased to the right wing. Some of the news stations offering fact not fiction are leaning toward the left. Anytime you have big corporate sponsorship it generally goes to the right even though it is wrong.

Answer 7

On Fox and most talk radio, yes. On all other news stations and sources it's left-wing bias

Answer 8

You have got to be kidding. There are very few outlets which actually give a conservative viewpoint to any issues. For the most part, the major news outlets are clearly biased to the left wing.

Answer 9

Only on Fox is their a right leaning media. But that is because we get all viewpoints, not just the liberal spin.

Answer 10

Let's see here..

FOX- Leans to the right, but allows both sides to express their views, the only news outlet that does so..

CNN- Left
ABC-Left
NBC-Left
MSNBC-Left
CNBC-Left
CBS-Left

Need I go on?

Answer 11

Yes! Even NPR is conservative. That's why they have "Market Watch" instead of "Labor Watch".
