Quote:
Since Groseclose and Milyo were more concerned with bias in news reporting than opinion pieces, which are designed to stake a political position, they omitted editorials and Op‑Eds from their tallies. This is one reason their study finds The Wall Street Journal more liberal than conventional wisdom asserts.

That is the big thing there. Say what you want about the actual news shows but the truth in where the station leans is in the commentary hosts. Fox News is commentary driven and their cronies in talk radio rule the radio waves. They have their daily talking points that are echoed throughout the nation. They create whatever news they want.
The first step in taking back the media is get rid of mass media corporations. We cannot allow a handful of corporations to control 99% of the tv, radio, and newpapers. It makes it too easy for one person with an agenda (Murdoch for example) to push the stories HE wants and suppress whatever he doesn't want. Watch Outfoxed.
