Interesting article.

I did a quick look at Edward Herman's background. His PhD is from Berkeley, hardly a hotbed of conservatism. He has co-authored three books with Noam Chomsky.

An interesting quote from an interview with him:

"EH: The most important changes over the past several decades have been
corporate capitalism's increasingly global perspective and reach, its
increasing intolerance of welfare state commitments and labor organization
and the social contract, and its willingness to attack these in various modes
of intensified class warfare. "
Source: lbbs.org

Note the mention of "intensified class warfare." A classic Marxist argument, matched with open concern about capitalism.

I didn't dig very far into his background, but what I did find suggests that he is far to the left, possibly (probably?) a Marxist economist. And a man whose writings appear clearly position-based, not objective.

So it is hardly surprising that he attacks those who believe that there is a liberal bias in the media.
