Conservative Media Bias
Share this
Media Matters for America, the liberal media watchdog organization, has conducted a systematic study of the commentary sections in U.S. newspapers. "The results show that in paper after paper, state after state, and region after region, conservative syndicated columnists get more space than their progressive counterparts," they conclude. "Sixty percent of the nation's daily newspapers print more conservative syndicated columnists every week than progressive syndicated columnists."

Media Matters
Media Matters does a great job. They always go out of their way to make sure everything is in context. I have found people Like Bill Oreilly and others that denounce it have yet to demonstrate any actual evidence of slanting their reports. On the other hand Politifact (fact checker site) constistantly rates Bill's comments as false more often the true.
the sad reality os no matter what you say these people will claim liberal bias or simply use name calling as their argument with no actual support. they are not intersted in hearing anything that contradicts their beliefs.
Media Matters????
This is where PR Watch.org screwed up. Pay no attention to Media Matters. They are so slanted that they landed on their heads. Get real PR Watch.org!!!!

WOOT! Thats what im talking about, this is just an organization whos JOB is for telling people slanted viewpionts. Go to FOX for the real deal!
This is absolutely true and undeniable
The "liberal media" myth is the result of endless parsing and meaningless statistics. The measures of "liberal media" are based on entirely subjective definitions of "liberal." Many surveys purportedly reflecting liberal media bias rely on notoriously unreliable self-reported data.
When it comes to the self-evidently conservative bias of media it is a matter of "who do you believe me or your lying eyes?" What liberal media instutution would cover conservative accusations of bias so assiduously as bastions of "liberality" such as Disney's ABC and GE's NBC?
