The media honestly don't think they are biased, can you believe that? Based on the self assessment of people I encounter that are definitely biased, I can believe it. It appears that the preponderance of people view the center as where they are. It also appears that the majority of the rest believe they are fairly close to the center. FOr some reason I doubt that 80% of the population could be accurately described as moderates. Yet I suspect that clos to that percentage would like to think of themselves as moderate. The lamestream media mostly associate with each other and others who have similarly far leftwing views. Why would they not believe that moderates are some sort of rapid rightwing freaks?
