The false notion that the media has a ‘liberal’ bias has been debunked many times, most notably by Noam Chomsky in his many books. He found an overwhelming bias in FAVOR of institutions like corporations and government. For that matter, even many of the conservatives who tossed that notion around, like Quayle, Nixon and Joe McCarthy, later openly admitted they knew that to be completely false. Not surprising when you think about it. The anchorpeople are basically multi-millioniares who work for multi-billionaires, so why wouldn’t they be biased in favor of the institutions they depend on to make them wealthy and famous? Journalism is also one of the most racially exclusionary of fields, as late as 1995 more than 95% white. ABC has long been nicknamed by liberal activists as standing for ‘Always Be Conservative’. It has famous conservatives George Will, Dianne Sawyer (who was in the Nixon administration), Ted Koppel, Peter Jennings, John Stossel, and even Judd Rose, who is a longtime member of the Nazi Party. It’s funny what conservatives claim is ‘liberal bias’. Bryant Gumbel gets pointed to as a ‘liberal’ by conservatives, but is widely disparaged in the black community as an outright Uncle Tom. So you tell me, where is this alleged ‘liberal bias’ except in the mind of conseratives who want to undercut criticism of themselves?
