"....massive liberalism of the media." ???

Fox is one of the most watched news sources... beating the competition in many time slots.

Talk Radio is mostly conservative. Make that mostly odd-ball conservative.

No one has media-star commentators like the extreme right does: Rush, Coulter, Ingraham, Savage, Mark Levin, Hannity, O'Reilly... etc. Equivalents on the left? With that kind of star power?

The newspapers might be liberal.... but who reads them? Who reads the NYTimes... the average American? And have you seen the nose dive that newspaper readership has taken? And besides look at the figures: the top 3 ....USA Today, 2,113,725; The Wall Street Journal, 2,082,189 and The New York Times, 1,039,031.

USAToday is conservative, The WallStreetJournal is owned by FoxNews owner Rupert Murdock. The NYTimes is beaten by both by a wide magin.

The "massive liberalism" of the media is simply not true.

I wasn't referring to today, I was referring to up until about 15 - 25 years ago, when there was little cable TV, and the only place the public was able to get their news was from the major networks and NY Times. Those outlets were stifilingly liberal (Peter Jennings, Walter Cronkite, etc.)
