		The simplistic right-wing mainstream media apparently chooses to hide the reality that the only options in dealing with unsavory geopolitical conditions are war and culpable complicity.
		Thoughtful conservatives have said many times that they would have no objection to a return to 19th century journalism, in which newspapers openly identified their political allegiances.

		But this is a media segment controlled by Hollywood writers and producers, not by politicians and not by those who report or pontificate about the news.

	Welcome to Illiberal Conservative Media (ICM) - by eRiposte
		Which is why, at Illiberal Conservative Media, I am amassing evidence to show why the mainstream media in the U.S. is not liberal (i.e., it is illiberal) and most often conservatively biased.
		The Groseclose-Milyo (G-M) paper (HTML, PDF) attempts to assess media bias using an approach wherein adjusted ADA (Americans for Democratic Action) scores (0-to-100) are used to assess legislator ideology (archconservative-to-archliberal), and separately, the think-tank citations of the legislators are compared to the think-tank citations of the media outlet to then derive the media outlet's "bias".
		Because the repeated and egregious mainstream media malpractice and fraud against leading Democrats is well known, to the point that even conservatives have been forced to admit it (albeit in "softer" terms).

	Conservative Sycophants Lose Credibility - by Paul Craig Roberts
		Conservative journalists and Republican politicians not only lie through their teeth, but also seek to destroy everyone who utters a word of dissent or truth.
		Conservatives regard dissent as a serious offense, but they think it is treasonous to give the public real information, as contrasted with Fox "News" propaganda.
		Instead, the conservative media and talk radio have shown themselves to be political partisans who fight against truth.

	WorldNetDaily: Most deny conservative media bias
		According to pollster Scott Rasmussen, one-quarter of Americans believe there is a conservative media bias compared with nearly twice as many who perceive a liberal bias in the news.
		"Most of the media [has] been slow to recognize the pervasive impact of this fifth column in their ranks – that is, day after day, injecting the daily Republican talking points into the definition of what's objective as stated by the news media as a whole," he said.
		Rather than a conservative-dominated media, Rasmussen found that the opposite view – that there is a liberal bias in the media – "is held by majorities or pluralities of men, women, young, old, investors, white Americans, those who discuss politics frequently with family and friends, conservatives, moderates, private sector workers and union members."

		As the number of corporations which own various media resources get smaller and smaller, media critics have begun to wonder if diversity of content is suffering.
		Actual content of the media package may not offer traditional ideologies, but the marketing imperative behind the mediated world view fills a greater role in deciding just what the content will be.

		That the media was just as down on his predecessor, President Lyndon Johnson, for both their conducts of the Vietnam War, was lost on the delusional Nixon.
		I jokingly call it the ‘Liberal Media’ because what transpired at the Wellstone Memorial was a textbook example of the Conservative Media spinning things their way; and I must admit they did it brilliantly.
		Media pundits and radio hosts, some honestly not knowing they were being manipulated by their bosses, railed against the Wellstone Memorial for ‘not being simply a Memorial’- even though they, and both parties knew damned well what it was gonna be.

	Welcome to Illiberal Conservative Media (ICM) - by eRiposte
		In a news report, though, unless the media outlet specifically states that it approves the position of the think-tank cited in the news report, assuming that the media outlet somehow overtly shares the ideology of the think-tank in a big, unwarranted leap of faith.
		The authors are assessing "media bias" by extracting adjusted ADA (Americans for Democratic Action) scores for media outlets by comparing their think-tank citations to those of the legislators whose adjusted ADA scores are independently estimated using voting records.
		Especially considering that this is a study of media bias, clearly biases in the media can result in impressions on voters that may sway them in a direction opposed to their own ideology or belief, without their realizing how they have been swayed.

	The Left Coaster: Introduction to the Illiberal Conservative Media (ICM)
		Over the past few decades, and certainly since the Nixon era, prominent conservative spokesmen and Republican leaders (and their staunch foot-soldiers in the media) invented the notion of a "liberal media" in the United States, as a means of deceiving the public and gaining political power.
		Although not specifically written as a media bias research book, Joe Conason and Gene Lyons' The Hunting of the President, was clearly an indictment of the media for their inexcusably egregious "news" coverage in the Clinton era.
		They won by attacking the media, falsely and consistently, for "liberal bias", and by forcing the media through an enormously well-funded disinformation campaign, to acknowledge their opinions and fake facts.

	Media Bias Basics
		Results of this study of the “media elite” were included in the October/November 1981 issue of Public Opinion, published by the American Enterprise Institute, in the article “Media and Business Elites.” The data demonstrated that journalists and broadcasters hold liberal positions on a wide range of social and political issues.
		This study, which was more elaborately presented in Lichter and Rothman’s subsequent book, The Media Elite, became the most widely quoted media study of the 1980s and remains a landmark today.
		When it came to voting habits and ideology, the authors found the media elite maintained their liberal bent, providing strong majority support for Democrats Michael Dukakis in 1988 and Bill Clinton in 1992.

	Media Matters - If It's Sunday, It's Still Conservative (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Six weeks ago, Media Matters for America published an in-depth study of guests on ABC's This Week, CBS' Face the Nation, and NBC's Meet the Press in which we demonstrated that the shows' Republican and conservative guests outnumbered Democratic and progressive guests over a nine-year period.
		If we remove the neutrals (a category that includes guests who are centrist or nonpartisan) to examine only those with a clearly identifiable ideology, we see that the imbalance has been, if anything, slightly more acute in 2006 than it was in the years 1997 through 2005.
		Media Matters for America once again asks the producers of ABC's This Week, CBS' Face the Nation, and NBC's Meet the Press to consider whether this pattern of conservative domination serves the public interest.

	The "Civil, Non-Partisan" Left-Wing Media?
		Kurtz's summary of Tomasky's findings is accurate; Tomasky claims that the liberal papers are more independent than the conservative papers, hew less strictly to the "party line," and are more prone to criticize a President of their own party.
		In addition, Tomasky claims that the liberal papers are objective and measured in tone, reflecting the best traditions of journalism, while the conservative editorials are strident and partisan: "There is further the matter of tone.
		Liberal newspapers--that is, all major papers except the Washington Times and the editorial section (only) of the Wall Street Journal--will dutifully report the alleged results without questioning whether there are any data to support them.
