Kincaid On the MSM
Filed Under: Uncategorized
I realize that the topic of media bias has been talked about ad naseum but Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy In Media has another excellent post up about it.
For those who question the evidence of bias, it can be found in numerous studies. The national press bias was first documented in Leo Rosten’s 1937 study of Washington correspondents. He found that the press corps at the time was significantly more pro-Roosevelt than the country as a whole, less pro-Republican and slightly more pro-Socialist. William Rivers duplicated the Rosten study 25 years later. He also found a decidedly liberal political slant to correspondents’ views. He reported, “It is significant that the newspaper correspondents, like the rest of the press corps, are predominately liberal. There is little difference politically between newspapermen and other correspondents. There are nearly four times as many Democrats as Republicans among wire-service and radio and television correspondents, and nearly two times as many Democrats as Republicans among magazine correspondents.”
It’s a pretty good read if you care to check it out.
