"Media bias about media bias" Sowell is not above distorting the facts: re: the 5 major newspapers.....USAToday caught my eye...here is today's editorial for it. Tell me if it's liberal. usatoday.com re:" given the well-documented fact that 90 percent of media journalists vote for Democrats" That legend is at least 15 years old and the number claimed used to be 80%. You must admit it's hard to tell what a reporter's politics are but easy to identify the columnists. I made a challenge here the other day to match one for one, at least, the number of conservative columnists and talking heads to the number of liberals....no one has tried. re:"Rush Limbaugh and Roger Ailes of Fox News humbly taking orders from some Republican Party functionaries." I heard Rush Limbaugh say that he used to get the daily talking points of the repubs from Newtie himself.....I assume he still does. re:"when similar atrocities are committed by blacks against whites, or gays against straights (including children), there is again utter silence in most of the media." The recent sniper story received no coverage???? Sowell must be a sleep walker.... re:"ABC, NBC, CBS" If they wanted to be biased they only have about 5 minutes of nightly news available to them....that's about the extent of the time they devote to politics.... THE FACT IS THE MEDIA IS CONSERVATIVE!!!!!
