Biased or not?
The "liberal bias" of the media we hear so much about was called into
question recently with a study released by Media Matters which claims that Sunday morning political shows such as
Meet the Press, Face the Nation, and This Week tend to have more conservative
guests than liberal. Of course, some are arguing against the study. NBC argued that during Clinton's term in
office there were also slightly more Republican guests on Meet the Press. The point, I suppose, is that it's
not necessarily dictated by who's in office. Also, there's the question as to who's really conservative and who isn't,
especially when it comes to centrists like John McCain and others. My advice? Tune into The McLaughlin Group,
a show where everyone is equally a raving lunatic, no matter their political affiliation. Or, go to the zoo and watch
spider monkeys fighting each other. It's pretty much the same either way.
