just confirms that the news rooms are very distant from the political pulse of most voters, to the point of using basic political words like 'liberal' or 'conservative' to mean quite different sets of positions. Not arguing that they're not "distant from the political pulse of most voters." Just trying to be more accurate about how they are different. They are distant from only part of the political pulse of most voters. The liberal/conservative continuum is way too simplistic and leads to incorrect assumptions about the bias. It matters. Well, maybe it doesn't matter if all one wants to do about the so-called liberal bias is to bitch about it and to demonize the media. If one wants to solve the problem, not that there's any indication that anyone here wants to do that, then one needs to understand the problem better than attributing it all to those damned liberals.
