Left vs. Right Bias: How we rate the bias of media sources
As I thought. Just another truth denying liberal email blog or whatever you call yourself.
Most political bias and lies found in the MSM are biases and lies by omission…which are inherently far more difficult to detect by most Americans who have only a limited amount of time to devote to politics. Seldom, if ever, does the MSM offer viewers/readers two or more sides of an issue. There is essential only one approved narrative on every issue which is crafted by liberals who control most, if not all, of the MSM. But the political spectrum isn’t left-right anymore. It’s now about big government authoritarians (both left and right) who think more government is always the best solution vs. small government non-authoritarians who distrust centralized federal political power in a distant capitol and a growing administrative state which seeks to regulate almost everything in people’s lives.
