I have put forth data on the politics of media personnel, the fact that only 4 to 6 percent identify themselves as conservative, and touted the book "Bias," which makes the case in great detail--much greater than I can reproduce here. I haven't even mentioned other books like "Coloring the News," which shows the liberal media bias in favor of "diversity" issues.
I have referenced articles on this, like this one, and organizations like this one (BTW, check this amusing bit out.)
The ONLY response that has been made, by people debating Goldberg, by G. B. Trudeau, or people like yourselves, is: "If the media were biased, why did they go after Clinton?" Or, to quote Marvin Kalb: "...According to Bernie's thesis, that Washington press corps is a very elitist liberal press corps. Why in God's name, if he's right, would they have gone out and lacerated and destroyed a liberal president?"
That was the ONLY specific argument Kalb made during that debate, other than the equivalent of "sez you!"
If anyone has any other argument against the fact of liberal bias besides this one, I'd love to hear it. I don't want to bring Clinton into this either.

The "loyal opposition to MRC" is FAIR, whose main objection to the media is that they are not the raving Marxists that FAIR thinks they ought to be. Merely mentioning FOX News to one of these FAIR people can cause an actual brain explosion. Fortunately, it is barely audible and has no discernable external effect. Kind of like a mosquito hitting a bug zapper.
How dare a news organization tilt conservative! And then to say that they are UNBIASED! Shocking! Of course this exact behavior on the part of the liberal mainstream media is ignored, because to a liberal there IS no left side to the spectrum. There's them, right smack in the "moderate, unbiased middle" and everyone else is to their right.

I'm not the one who keeps bringing Clinton up.
