Biased Accounts Networks Guarantee Liberal View of Social Security By Amy Menefee Assistant Editor/Senior Analyst Overall, liberal talking points outweighed conservative ones by a 2-to-1 margin. CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN all had more liberal stories than conservative. CNN’s “Inside Politics” had 61 percent liberal and 22 percent conservative.......... ..............Take CNN correspondent Ed Henry as an example. In a Feb. 7 budget story on “Inside Politics,” he said Democrats “do not believe the money will be there for these estimates of anywhere from $2 trillion to $4.5 trillion for the transition costs for Social Security reform, transitioning to private accounts.” These figures were extreme even for liberal estimates. Henry was signing off from his report, so he did not make time to explain where his figures came from, what the opposition would say, or what he really meant by “transition costs.” This study of 125 news stories on Social Security between Nov. 15, 2004, and March 15, 2005, found four out of the five major networks biased toward liberal talking points. CBS and CNN had almost three times as many liberal stories as conservative. freemarketproject.org

Most reporters aren't liberal or biased - right? Let's see.... - 9 white house correspondents survey voted for Clinton in 1992, while 2 voted for Bush - 12 voted for Dukakis in 1988 - one for Bush - 10 voted for Mondale in 1984 - zero for Reagan - 8 voted for Jimmy Carter in 1980 - 2 for Reagan Of course, none of these reporters could be biased at all in their reporting.......
