about half then i quit because he {not so innocently} forgot to mention ALLLLLL the liberal media outlets. like

the New York Times
Wahington Post,
LA Times, ect.............

CNN
MSNBC
CBS
ABC
NBC
PBS
NPR
Ford Foundation

your bias for even saying that, and not even reading all of the article.......both are professors, and should know what happens
when they report bais informaiton....you are in college and
should know this....if they were sooo bias as you claim they
are, why hasn't no one ever questioned them? or challenge them?

also please note that there HAS NEVER been a study on proving
that the media is liberal....usually what does get reported is
what reporters vote for, and polls finds that say 80% vote
democratic, and ppl make the assumtion that the media is
liberal...which is bull....its like saying the factory workers make
the desions for what the factory makes, when in reality its the
owners, and those who support the factory as a business, that
make the desiions of the factory.....same in the media...you have
to look at who owns them, their sources of income (ads), editors,
and govern't agencies(some which proved news, stats, etc.)

shit....of those media outlets you mentioned, how many of them
actually reported the pro-chavista groups opinions? or when
nafta was being processes, how many of them reported the
anti-nafta opionoins???..or in the 60-70s, why were they
reported anti-communism propaganda?....or even now how many
of them actaully report the antiwar arguements? (and not
some "drop bush, not bomb" sign.)....or countless other news
that tilt to the right.

if they are soo liberal as you mention, how do u explain that?


as the article stated the only thing liberal that gets reported is
on social issues. "One key technique of right-wing proofs of liberal bias is to focus on social issues, as the affluent and urban media journalists and editors do tend to be more liberal than blue collar workers on issues like abortion-choice, gay rights, and the handling of drug problems, as are urban professionals across the board."


one last thing is that either Herman or Chomsky are not news reporters....they are researches, intellects, scholars.

for your information there was 1 channel that carried the Anti- War rally ALL DAY LONG, but ignore the pro-war rally that was being held down the street from the D.C. rally

are you kidding me?!!?...u'r sooo lame.
not many ppl take them seriously? Chomsky is one of the top 5
most qoated ppl of all time.....up with the bible, and marx.
and yet you never hear his voice on mainstream news, not
even your "liberal" media outlets....and for crying out loud he's
a professor at MIT.

in any other field of study, anyone who reports bias information
will get bombard with arguements from other professors...and might discredited them.

i love when ppl say "for your information"....LMAO

the only thing i have to say about is, is a quote from your statment "there was 1 channel"

pro-war rally is alway heard on mainstream tv, radio, etc.

rightwingers can't be bias on facts or disproving some argument, same with leftists........being a leftist
or rightwinger just depends on your polictil views

and just like i said above, any scholar who does publish bias
information, they will get pointed out.
