Me thinks rather than bellyache about it, and whine and complain as Goldberg is doing in the course of selling his book, why not simpy conclude there's a valid reasons why intellectuals and journalists come to hold the personal views they do. If so many Americans were not herdlike in nature, perhaps they'd glean some of what those intellectuals and journalists come to understand.

In a sense there is a valid reason for just about whatever anyone might think, but that doesn't mean that what they think is itself valid. It might be interesting to examine why the media (or anyone else) thinks the way they do, but what I am more concerned about is how they think and how that effects the political process. Whether or not they have a valid reason for thinking what they think I think a lot of what they think is wrong.

I think however to really discuss this we would have to get more specific and once we start discussing various issues where liberals and conservatives differ we would be moving away from the issue of media bias.

I haven't done more then glance at your post on the Foreign Affairs thread yet, but I have it open in another window and may look at it later. For a quick and dirty response - I would say that the US consumes more resources but that the US also produces more resources per capita then the rest of the world. When we do get resources from the rest of the world we buy them we are not stealing them.
