The Weekly Standard as a cite? Never heard of Pew Media Research? You poor addled libitard. Grow a brain. That study (political leanings of journalists) was debunked five years ago. Journalists write what they're told to write or they don't have their jobs for long. Impress us all and tell us the political leanings of editors, publishers and owners. editors.....mostly liberal publishers ....whatever sells owners......whatever sells. Source? Your ass, I presume. Yep, like most of what you produce... Pretty quick with the IKYABWAI, Pee-Wee. I guess it'll have to do when you don't have any real facts. Jim Clammie dear, eat some facts: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Conten...4/143lkblo.asp THE ARGUMENT over whether the national press is dominated by liberals is over. Since 1962, there have been 11 surveys of the media that sought the political views of hundreds of journalists. In 1971, they were 53 percent liberal, 17 percent conservative. In a 1976 survey of the Washington press corps, it was 59 percent liberal, 18 percent conservative. A 1985 poll of 3,200 reporters found them to be self-identified as 55 percent liberal, 17 percent conservative. In 1996, another survey of Washington journalists pegged the breakdown as 61 percent liberal, 9 percent conservative. Now, the new study by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found the national media to be 34 percent liberal and 7 percent conservative. Over 40-plus years, the only thing that's changed in the media's politics is that many national journalists have now cleverly decided to call themselves moderates. But their actual views haven't changed, the Pew survey showed. Their political beliefs are close to those of self-identified liberals and nowhere near those of conservatives. And the proportion of liberals to conservatives in the press, either 3-to-1 or 4-to-1, has stayed the same. That liberals are dominant is now beyond dispute. |
