You should read some of the links that I have posted in the past. This has been discussed before.Originally Posted by .blank cd
Since I am not about to go dig through all of my old posts, and I don't expect you to either, I'll just give you a few links to get you started in research. You can form your own opinion after you have done some research.

Numerous polls also show far more journalists describe themselves as “liberal” compared to the general public. In 1996, the American Society of Newspaper Editors surveyed 1,037 journalists at 61 newspapers, and found those calling themselves “liberal/Democrat” outnumbered “conservative/Republican” by a four-to-one margin (61% to 15%).
In May 2004, the Pew Research Center found that the proportion of liberals in the national media had actually grown over the previous nine years, from 22% in 1995 to 34% in 2004. Meanwhile, the percentage of conservatives remained minuscule: just 4% in 1995, 7% in 2004.
Prior to the 2000, 2004 and 2008 presidential elections, Slate surveyed its staff to find out how they intended to vote. As a case study, Slate surveys match scientific polls of the media elite: 76% picked Al Gore as their top choice in 2000; 87% said they planned to vote for John Kerry in 2004; 96% said they were supporting Barack Obama in 2008.
With this many staffers describing themselves as liberals, do you really believe that they are writing conservative or balanced pieces?
