For some reason when conservatives make this claim, the liberal reply is that yes, journalists may lean left in their personal view, but they are trained to be objective.
But if you asked a liberal whether he would trust news that was published by an organization where 75% of the employees donate to Republicans, he would balk.

I'm reading this book. Excellent. Sometimes technical, but Ricochet participants should handle the analysis easily. Good data on why liberals think the way they do.

No discussion of the media's political bias -- or about social justice and income inequality -- is complete without reference to this: Salaries of TV News Personalities.

I took a college journalism course 2 yrs ago. Every class came with a dose of liberal indoctrination. Rush and Imus were constantly brought up as examples of "hatred spewing shock jocks" and the teacher would say, "I hope no one in here listens to them."

As we all know, "hatred" is objectively defined as a noun that means "substantive criticism of the left-liberal conventional wisdom."
