	Junk Science of Liberal Media Bias \| Echo Chamber Project
		The MRC claims that their methodology "regularly documents the national media's ongoing liberal bias," but they rely solely upon data-driven analysis that is polluted with many pitfalls associated with inductive reasoning.
		The Media Research Center’s rhetoric describes "liberal bias" as if they have established it to the level of a "law" or "theory." However, the MRC’s inductive scientific methodology has never evolved their claims beyond the level of establishing a hypothesis that the media’s coverage is tainted by a liberal bias.
		But their methodology for validating this liberal bias hypothesis never moves beyond this inductive means, and subsequently falls into many of the pitfalls of this type of data-driven analysis.

In so doing, the reporter imparts an air of authority that the source does not deserve.

	Rather's Retirement and "Liberal Bias"
		Media retrospectives of Rather's career will likely refer to the long-running right-wing critique of Rather's supposed "liberalism." But the notion that Rather has used his CBS platform to disseminate left-wing propaganda over the last two decades does not hold up to scrutiny.
		If Rather can be accused of anything, it's the same bias one can see throughout the mainstream media: an unwillingness to challenge official power and policy.
		If Rather were indeed liberal-- or just more liberal than his network competitors-- one would think that the CBS Evening News would include more critical perspectives in its newscast, particularly during a Republican administration.
