Question

Of course i believe there is concervative media bias ,its just that with the exception of fox news on tv and several radio talk show hosts ,hannity, limbaugh liddy its 90 percent liberal

Answer 1

Listen dip-stick............ If there was a true "liberal" media bias then you would not have heard 1 solitary word about the battle of words between Hillary and Obama.

Think about it.

You would have nothing but newspapers, TV and radio news calling for the impeachment of Bush and Cheney.

The reason that Fox became such a "right wing" biased station is because Rupert Murdock has a vendetta against Edward Kennedy. So he would use his fortune to destroy the U.S. to "get even" with Kennedy. In my book Murdock should have an "accident". send his azz back down-under to stand on his ignorant head.

Answer 2

CNN has reported that the surge is working. They have also reported that the Iraqi government is falling apart. Are these lies? Is that biased? Those are the facts. You will hear in September that the heads of the military feel that no matter how much the surge is working, if the government isn't, they need some other kind of strategy as far as governing the country goes. Iraq's leadership does not want the country to be united. Just because you don't want to hear this does not make it a liberal lie. It should be pretty obvious to anyone.

I don't watch Fox that much, but I don't even hear the war mentioned. They don't say anything, good or bad about it other than some kind of stupid statement like, "The liberals want us to lose". Great coverage. Not.

Answer 3

I doubt which you rather decide for evidence yet i'm going to take a couple of minutes to show out the glaring. There are numerous styles of bias. a million. One type is to choose one side over the different. The Liberal Media will constantly choose the Liberal place over a Conservative place and by no ability grant a balanced or impartial place. 2. yet another variety of bias to to denigrate one side and not the different. The Liberal Media will constantly attack Conservative positions and by no ability attack a Liberal place. the elementary difficulty with those styles of bias subject concerns is that the information is (or could be) impartial. information companies could supply the information and not spin it to help their political time table. information that a bias exists can bee considered in 2 situations. First: communicate Radio is mostly Conservative. that's what the objective audience needs and may additionally help in a unfastened marketplace. communicate Radio provides the information that the Liberal Media will by no ability contemporary to the well-known public. 2nd: Liberal media is failing. Air united statesa. replaced into approximately hate and that isn't what united statesa. is approximately. NBC, CBS, PBS, ABC the ny circumstances and the l. a. circumstances are all loosing aim audience. human beings are uninterested in getting those 'stronger' human beings settle on what's information and are finding to different components. you will discover documented information of bias on the area observed below.

Answer 4

Of course there is a liberal bias. The media wants to tell people what they want to hear, unless they will eventually hear the opposite. After 9/11 the media was pro-Bush. After Bush's approval ratings fell below 35%, they went pro-Liberals. The Fixed Noise Network (aka Fox) never swayed because they are part of NewsCorp, which is owned by a republican. Also while the other news stations are trying to appeal to the masses (the 70% of Americans who hate Bush), by alienating the many, Fox has created a Monopoly on the few (the 30% of Americans who would only hate Bush if he walked around to them one by one and said "I hate you go **** your self"). So if someone, like most people, wants to watch a show that says all the awful stuff Bush is doing, they can watch any channel (minus 1), but if they are one of the weirdos who wants to watch BS about how Bush is great, they pretty much are limitted to watching The Oh'Really Factor on the Fixed Noise Network and reading BS by Anne Coulter.

Answer 5

I doubt it for sure. It's true that most journalists have political affiliations that are more on the liberal side, but I would say they generally don't allow that to influence the reporting of the facts, at least when watching ABC News, NBS news, etc.

Of course, the exceptions are those that are specifically liberal or conservative (James Carville, Robert Novak, etc.). With all the conservative voices on Fox News, talk radio, etc., it's hard to argue that conservatives are not given a voice.

Answer 6

Yes. I doubt for the following reasons.

1) the framing of the question implies all media or the majority of media, as one or two distinct sources would not garner the need to claim a bais in the media as a whole.

2)Most people recieve thier news from a major news source outlet. By news this excludes bloggers or random unaffliated internet sites.

3) Most all news sources are owned by corparate compaines, with a vested intrest in producing profits.

4) Logically if the Most media is run with a liberal bias then it suggest that Corprate america has an agenda.


Corporate america being the biggest source of political campaign money.

Being such a liberal agenda.
this is why i doubt.

Given that profit determines change or view of any major media owned by a corparate intrest i'd have to
say that not only is the notion of liberal media counter intuative but also false.

A real liberal bias would have stood up to the current adminstartion from day one, not just kept feeding in to the propaganda and photo ops but would have asked real question.

Liberal bias is a word used to describe opinions we don't like given the same set of facts.

Answer 7

We have an administration that is based on rhetoric rather than fact, so any news article that points out the difference between those positions is bound to called liberal biased. but since corporate America owns the media ,and is for all intents and purposes pulls the strings of government. It is hard to give credence to a claim of liberal bias.

Answer 8

There's no left wing media bias. It's the old republican campaign strategy of tell a lie, repeat the lie, continue to repeat the lie, and eventually people will come to believe it.

That's why a majority of people today still believe Iraq attacked us onj 9/11.

Where do they get that lie from? The liberal media?

Hardly.

Answer 9

I don't doubt there is a liberally biased media out there. Bias is nothing more than having a prejudice or preference to one side/thing or another. Just like there are people that will only drink Coca Cola or just drink Pepsi. The preference of the media is how they determine how much of what side they will report.

Answer 10

No doubt and niether does the American public at large anymore. 72% of Americans believe that most of the media has a left-wing biased.

I've noticed that negative news is more prevalant during republican presidencies while during the Clinton era everything was perfect.
