And some quotes:
By a 39% to 20% margin, American adults believe that the three major broadcast networks deliver news with a bias in favor of liberals. A Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that just 25% believe that ABC, CBS, and NBC deliver the news without any bias.
Similar results are found for CNN and National Public Radio (NPR). By a margin of 33% to 16%, Americans say that CNN has a liberal bias. The nation's adults say the same about NPR by a 27% to 14% margin.
There is one major exception to the belief that media outlets have a liberal bias-Fox News. Thirty-one percent (31%) of Americans say it has a bias that favors conservatives while 15% say it has a liberal bias.
Anyway, I too believe there is media bias in our news networks and it's pretty obvious. Anyone who says there isn't a media bias is either ignorant or in total denial.
It seems to me that the news media thinks of itself as the "Fourth" branch of govt. that keeps the other three in check. They want to be a part of the decision making process and distort and twist info. so that it favors their side. So much for unbiased reporting.
