5 Liberal Media Techniques

[SWJED]

You know all of the right wing whining about the “liberal” media is really getting sad. It has become a justification for anything and a way of discrediting any unfavorable story, regardless of what the truth maybe.

I consider myself somewhere between center and right-of-center in reference to political beliefs.

In prepping the SWJ Daily News Links I read at least portions of 15-20 (some mornings more) MSM news sources. JMHO – but Ray Robison is spot on in regards to the liberal bias of the MSM…

Does the right “report” in a biased manner? Of course, but for the most part the right is confined to “alternate” media forums while the major dailies and magazines are at least partially in the left’s camp – some totally.

Any supposed neutral news source that espouses a view disguised as news is guilty of blatant deception - be it a news source of the right or left. Just so happens the MSM is dominated by left leaning news media… Go figure why some of us are a bit PO’ed about a political IO campaign that runs contrary to actually winning the GWOT.

Could someone more well-read than I, please give me their opinion as to which print, television, or web media sources are liberal, moderate, conservative? What does the group believe as the most honest source of information?

Look at the left margin of the Daily News Links pages - you will find at least a start on the liberal biased sources - there are many...

As for conservative publications in the left side-bar I would include the Washington Times, Wall Street Journal, National Review, Weekly Standard and the London Daily Telegraph. Some like the LA Times, WAPO and others include token columnists with conservative views.

I once read about a study that stated that conservatives listened/watched/read Fox, WSJ, liberals ABC, et al., and moderates NPR. Go figure.

Ive always found The Economist to be fair. Although they describe themselves as "fiscally conservative" or something like that. Not the same as politically conservative.
