Poet - re even the liberal press....

The mainstream press hasn't been liberal since the 70s. That claim rises from the apparent attitudes of the columnists and talking heads on TV, however they don't make the decisions, the people in the board rooms do, and they are hardly liberal.

Check out "The Myth of the Liberal Media" by Edward Herman

Book Description
The Myth of the Liberal Media contends that the mainstream media are parts of a
market system and that their performance is shaped primarily by proprietor/owner
and advertiser interests. Using a propaganda model, it is argued that the
commercial media protect and propagandize for the corporate system. Case studies
of major media institutions?the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the
Philadelphia Inquirer?are supplemented by detailed analyses of "word tricks and
propaganda" and the media's treatment of topics such as Third World elections, the
Persian Gulf War, the North American Free Trade Agreement, the fall of Suharto, and
corporate junk science.
