Myth: The U.S. has a liberal media.
Fact: The media are being increasingly monopolized by parent corporations with pro-corporate or conservative agendas.
The U.S. media are rapidly being monopolized by a dwindling number of parent corporations, all of whom have conservative economic agendas. The media are also critically dependent upon corporations for advertising. As a result, the news almost completely ignores corporate crime, as well as pro-labor and pro-consumer issues. Surveys of journalists show that the majority were personally liberal in the 1980s, but today they are centrists, with more conservatives than liberals on economic issues. However, no study has proven that they give their personal bias to the news. On the other hand, the political spectrum of pundits -- who do engage in noisy editorializing -- leans heavily to the right. The most extreme example of this is talk radio, where liberals are almost nonexistent. The Fairness Doctrine was designed to prevent one-sided bias in the media by requiring broadcasters to air opposing views. It once enjoyed the broad support of both liberals and conservatives. But now that the media have become increasingly owned and controlled by corporations, conservatives defiantly oppose the Fairness Doctrine. This is probably the best proof that the media's bias is conservative, not liberal.

i actually think is an opinion. Just because a website says "FACT" does not make it a fact. The whole article was based on conjecture. I'm not saying that i belive it or not... i'm just saying it's not good to put down FACT, when in fact, ( :clown: get it? wahhahaha ) it's just somebody belief. |
