New research explodes the "liberal bias" myth

Recent reports at Mediaite and Media Matters show that the so-called "liberal" press is in the bag for GOP lawmakers, and is under-reporting certain Left-wing issues that matter to many on the Left.

In the Media Matters study, the majority of media coverage toward the issue of big money in Politics was done by PBS news, and not by the major corporate media outlets.

It further stands that on the major corporate networks, GOP guests are interviewed far more often on average, than Democratic candidates. Mediaite gives the New York Times credit for this report.

I will add that, despite my intense dislike of the Democratic Party, I nonetheless think it's important to report on the Rightward shift of American politics that is happening more often and with more frequency in the United States.
