It's old news that the conservatives in this country believe the media to be biased to the left, and that the media have vehemently denied this.

In light of this, the first article on this editorial page may be worth looking at, as well as the article that the column references.

The numbers to keep in mind: "only a fraction of the media identifies itself as either Republican (4%) or conservative (6%)."

Six bloody percent. In the halls of education, among professors and other educators, the percentage is probably lower.

When the mainstream media tells you they are not leftist, they are lying in their teeth. Remember that. It's important.
