Were the references, perhaps, to "left wing freedom fighters" in Saddam Hussein's Iraq?
It's easy to spot, even when it's a conservative. Trouble is, it's almost never a conservative bias. But with the best reporters, you can't ever tell.
Whomever could they have been referring to?
Would make for an entertaining parlor game. Who might the mainstream media label "left wing"? And why...?

This guy better join Pariahs 'R' Us. He's definitely slipped off the tenure track, and he'll henceforth be treated with the same deference that NOW shows to Phyllis Schlafly.
I'm surprised he gave the FAIRies a voice in his study. Any media outlet that's not to the left of Mao is NOT properly covering the news in their simple minds. As someone mentioned earlier, they are waaaaay out in left field. The simpleton he quoted from FAIR offered NO support for his lame proffer of "conservative" bias. Try as they will, we all know they has very little to work with.
I am honor bound to agree with his assessment of the dangers of a group of Utopian social engineers in the mainstream media. Their reach and influence cannot be understated. Something like 50 Million+ Americans get their "news" from the three major networks on a more or less regular basis. The same place that sponsors will spend million$ for 30 second and 1 minute spots. To me, THAT speaks volumes about the influence of especially network teevee. Viewers are subjected to hours of progressive drivel that can't help but seep into the psyche, and produce a skewed understanding, er, misunderstanding of the world. Bottom line of course is, enough of these people vote WITHOUT benefit of accurate information, that our elections are also skewed.
Well, done preaching to the choir ; )
BTW, didn't I hear where Jeff Cohen left FAIRy and moved to MSNBC? Another RAT infesting the nest over there is NOT a good indicator of their "unbiased" approach.

I, for one, refuse to swaller this until corroborative studies have been made.
I CANNOT bring myself to believe that OUR MEDIA holds ANY kind of bias, especially a liberal leftist one.

(That's me dwoibing my finger across my lips.)
Now it really IS time for a shot or three...
Some people do. EVERY study, essay, or research piece that adds documentation to what WE already know adds another nail in the coffin of the media dim bulbs. So, what are you doing to inform the great unwashed of the media's bias?
I sure hope he didn't get any federal grants to complete this study.
I hope he did. This message needs the widest possible dissemination regardless of how it's funded. How much is the truth worth?
