The “Liberal Media”

After watching two of my favorite Sunday morning talk shows I am astounded at what I heard about bias in the media.

…the degree to which, especially ABC and CBS… don’t ever meet anyone who fundamentally disagrees with them and that that colors their entire reporting really can’t be underestimated. Bill Kristol on Fox News Sunday

Desire, especially at NBC, to make sure that we are as objective as possible, the facts are clear, and there is less commentary Norah O’Donnell on The Chris Matthews Show

They were kinda liberal actually. In addition to that they were arrogant and they were unwilling to admit that they were devaluing their own credibility with their biases. Tucker Carlson on The Chris Matthews Show

Bill Kristol went on to say that he has always thought that calling the media biased is usually an excuse for conservative failure. I could not agree more, but, ** I do think all reporters let bias slip into reports. It should be noted that the quote from Ms. O’Donnell is here ‘out of context.’ Her point was that broadcast news is really less biased than cable (or Internet) news. **No arguments from me.
