After I finished laughing, I pointedly asked them about Katie Couric, Peter Jennings, Wolf Blitzer and Dan Rather. And let's not forget the admission in ABC News' daily political analysis column, The Note a couple of months ago, where the writers unabashedly admitted to a liberal bias in their reporting, as if they had an obligation to be liberal and to attack the Bush Administration.
A new Pew Research study has found that liberals outnumber conservatives in America's newsrooms by a wide margin.
At national organizations (which includes print, TV and radio), the numbers break down like this: 34% liberal, 7% conservative. At local outlets: 23% liberal, 12% conservative. At Web sites: 27% call themselves liberals, 13% conservatives.Go ahead and say it. "Oh. that liberal media."This contrasts with the self-assessment of the general public: 20% liberal, 33% conservative.
And we are the ones that get beat up all the time? Just damn, indeed!
