We'd save a lot of unnecessary verbiage, and have more time for what matters, if you'd read my posts a bit more carefully. I said that I found about a dozen conservative newspapers on the first page of results from Google, out of twelve pages. You could extrapolate and get more like 144. You know, a double gross of conservatism.
Guess how many pages a search on "liberal newspapers" returns?
This thread seems to inspire an unusual amount of karma. That same Google search turned up a study debunking Goldberg's paranoid claim of liberal media bias, by Geoffrey Nunberg, here. A statistically-solid sample of 100,000 references to names of conservative and liberal politicians in an online newspaper database showed that liberals are labelled as such 30% more often than conservatives.
Fact-checking isn't hard to do. You should try it sometime.
