The Liberal Media?

[kpete]

There is NOTHING Liberal About Our MSM.
I doubt ANYONE here at DU relies on TV
That is a dead horse
as are the cretins of the GOP.



The Myth of the Liberal Media--
a summary

Main points made in this video explaining (with examples) Noam Chomsky's and Edward Herman's Propaganda Model of the Media -- and asserting that the mainstream media in America are not really liberal but are bias toward the interests of the elite, which are conservative on issues that affect profits.

Professors Justin Lewis, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky argue the following:

In America there is no wide range of political opinion -- with the spectrum really going from center to right.
The corporate interests that own and control media make an effort to make the media appear to be liberal -- it is effective to assert that the media are too liberal.

To do this, they attempt to make a connection between journalists working for media and the media content. In particular, they argue that because journalists vote in a liberal fashion, the media must be liberal.
