"I didn't set out to look for a particular type of bias and I took steps to ensure I didn't impose my preconceptions," Kuypers said. "What I found was a narrow brand of liberal bias with the mainstream media."

The book, "Press Bias and Politics: How the Media Frame Controversial Issues," is a compilation of Kuypers' research on six prominent speeches between 1995 and 2000. He first obtained copies of the speeches and then compared their objectives with their coverage in the news media.

"I did not honestly believe the level of bias and misrepresentation would be as deep and terrible as it was," he said.

Anyone who actually approaches the subject with an open mind will come to the conclusion above. This explains why the Internet belongs to conservatives and Libertarians.

You can make a liberal web site, and you can put on a liberal talk show host--but in either formant the arrogance of socialism gets exposed to too many penetrating questions, so you can't draw an audience with either.
