Are the News Media Too Liberal? Forty-five percent of Americans say yes
I'd be willing to bet that if you asked most Americans to define "Conservative" and "Liberal", you'd get your basic deer-in-the-headlights blank stare. All most of these folks know is what Rush Limbaugh and Michael Savage tell them- "Conservatives good, Liberals evil, blood-sucking trolls". And what exactly is it that makes most media "Liberal"? In all of the years I've had to listen to that canard, no one has EVER explained that in any way that even begins to make sense.
Most Americans feel that the media is "too Liberal" because that is what they hear on Right-wing talk radio or Fox Nuisance Channel. If nothing else, Rush and his ilk have certainly demonstrated the veracity of Goebbel's "Big Lie" theory.
Fair and balanced? Whatever....
