"In a new book that will be released later this month, a Dartmouth College professor claims the news media ignore far-left, moderate and conservative viewpoints in favor of a "narrow brand of liberal bias."

I don't buy it. The Media definately doesn't ignore far left and moderate viewpoints. The Media only ignores conservative viewpoints. That much is evidenced by the issues that the Media pushes on an on-going basis. Issues like Gay Rights, Gun Control, and Radical Environmentalism that are the hallmark of the far left!

Depends upon how you define "far left"...in the Higher Education lexicon, "far left" most likely includes Absolute Socialism wherein private property rights/ownership are abolished altogether, all income is the central bureaucracy's to distribute as they see fit, etc. ...while that may be the Lib'rals ultimate goal, liberals believe on getting there incrementally, so the "liberal viewpoint" is simply growing the Federal Leviathan to some point just to the Left of the status quo. Then, when that is established as the status quo, liberals argue for something incrementally just to the Left of that, and so on and so on!!

It's the boiled frog theory and the Vast, LeftWing Medyuh Whore'd ignores those viewpoints wherein proponents of Absolute Socialism advocate their views becuz it would startle the Sheeple outta their apathy.

As for ignoring "moderate viewpoints," there ain't no moderate position on anything...they're just spineless Lib'rals who are ashamed to admit that they are in favor of an ever-expanding Federal Leviathan!!
