They are even saying WIKIPEDIA has a liberal bias. WIKIPEDIA!! It can be changed by eneryone and so many people in the U.S. are conservative and can change stuff yet they still complain it has a liberal bias. They created conservapedia now. Why do conservatives have a such a problem with the media?|||It's just a form of rhetoric, and it depends on the region as well.
Anyone who's taken an intro to political science course should be able to tell you that different forms of media have different ideological leanings based primarily on region of origination and primary methods of funding.
Small town newspapers tend to lean to the right, major metropolitan papers lean a little left depending on area. The Dallas Morning News has bragged about it's right leaning tendencies.
Radio is a "conservative stronghold" in the media, despite the best attempts of more famous liberal leaning radio stations to change the tides.
It all depends on where you go, and what you look for. I get three to four papers a day when I can just so I can try to get the whole story. And I refuse to watch Fox News or MSNBC because their reporting is so clouded by ideology. Why do they do it? For ratings, that's all it comes down to in pretty much any medium.
Conservatives cry about the media the same way liberals cry about corporate oversight and corruption. The truth is that in both those areas each ideology has a stake and is just as guilty as the other in corrupting it. But Americans rally around familiar rhetoric, so it will keep going on.
Conservapedia is a stunt and little more. Hardcore conservatives will relish in it because no one is going to go there and challenge their world views. Let 'em have it. Who cares? Politics breeds idiocy. This is just further proof of that.|||Because perhaps the likes of MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, THE NYTS, the Atlanta Con. Jrnl, and all the monthly and weekly magazines did everything they could do to get Obama elected? Perhaps because the staffs outnumber cons 99-1 in most instances and yet libs complain about Fox news which is the most fair and balanced. Other than that I can not see how you can not say the Media in general is not liberal biased.|||Let me start off by stating that conservapedia is TERRIFYING and I hope to god that no one takes it seriously (Ann Coulter excluded, 'course).
I can say that as a left-leaning Independent some media outlets do have a liberal bias, but all the same some have a conservative bias. The outrageous liberal propaganda conspiracy taking over the media is nonexistent... it's merely the result of extremist complaints.
It is impossible NOT to have a bias. People just need to learn to examine all media outlets and craft a balanced view. |||LIberals are busy, litigious people who love agreeing with each other and never stop repeating themselves.
Conservatives are simple, quiet people who feel others should be quiet too.
Therein lies the rub. Tv is made for liberals to debate about what needs to be fixed with a huge government program, while conservatives dont think everything should be made into such a big deal. Media is necessarily liberal biased.
Otto, during the bush-kerry election when CNN heard that kerry won they all cheered live on the news. Theres an example of bias. CNN aired stuff about puppies when we were pulling down monuments of saddam in iraq.|||Reality has a liberal bias. Progression makes sense.
Thus, if you report the news truthfully, it will seem that there is a liberal bias.
In order to make news acceptable to conservatives you have to show un-news, the Faux News route, or spew constant hate about anyone who accepts that universal healthcare should even be considered.|||The media is very bias. Watch this if you can handle seeing how the media sways the ignorant. I am not saying that everyone who voted for Obama is ignorant, so please don't try to slam me and call me a racist or a bigot....
