[CLUE-Talk] "Liberal" media?

[Jeffery Cann]

One other tidbit of facts from the article I cited in my previous post - a 12 
year study of ideological content of the media...

"In a careful 1999 study published in the academic journal Communications 
Research, four scholars examined the use of the "liberal media" argument and 
discovered a fourfold increase in the number of Americans telling pollsters 
that they discerned a liberal bias in their news. But a review of the media's 
actual ideological content, collected and coded over a twelve-year period, 
offered no corroboration whatever for this view. The obvious conclusion: News 
consumers were responding to "increasing news coverage of liberal bias media 
claims, which have been increasingly emanating from Republican Party 
candidates and officials."
