A look at liberal bias in the media

Anyone who still thinks liberal political bias does not exist in the media is either naïve or living under a rock.

Syndicated columnist and author Cal Thomas (pictured) takes on liberal political bias in the media at the link below.

Cal begins his report by quoting Washington Post ombudsman Deborah Howell:

”...it's true that The Post, as well as much of the national news media, has written more stories and more favorable stories about Barack Obama than John McCain. Editors have their reasons for this, but conservatives are right that they often don't see their views reflected enough in the news pages.”

Some in the media don’t even realize the bias. To illustrate their denial, Mr Thomas says:

Larry King will assemble a “panel” of journalists to answer the question “Are the media biased?”

The journalists declare they are not and that is supposed to settle the matter. In only the rarest of cases are they confronted with their biases and held accountable.

You know things are bad when journalists begin admitting bias.

Columnist Michael Malone wrote on ABCNews.com that campaign coverage has been so biased, he is ashamed to tell people he is a journalist.

The Colorado Springs Gazette carried an opinion column about “The Death of Objectivity,” which criticized slanted coverage.
