What did you think of Piper Palin tending to her brother? How about the media?

<p>Well studies have been done to show hat there is a liberal bias in the media. </p>

<p>

“According to Dan Sutter of the University of Oklahoma, a systematic liberal bias in the U.S. media could depend on the fact that owners and/or journalists typically lean to the left”

<p>

“Riccardo Puglisi of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology looks at the editorial choices of the New York Times from 1946 to 1997.[15] He finds that the Times displays Democratic partisanship, with some watchdog aspects.”

“Alan Gerber and Dean Karlan of Yale University use an experimental approach to examine not whether the media are biased,[16] but whether the media influence political decisions and attitudes. They conduct a randomized control trial just prior to the November 2005 gubernatorial election in Virginia randomly assign individuals in Northern Virginia to (a) a treatment group that receives a free subscription to the Washington Post, (b) a treatment group that receives a free subscription to the Washington Times, or (c) a control group. They find that those who are assigned to the Washington Post treatment group are eight percentage points more likely to vote for the Democrat in the elections. The report also found that “exposure to either newspaper was weakly linked to a movement away from the Bush administration and Republicans.”[16]”

<p>So it is pretty documented and substantiated by research from places like:MIT, Yale, and the University of Oklahoma that there does exist a “liberal media”.</p>
