The mass media is biased toward the interests of the nation-less corporations that own it-disgusting that it is only 6 companies now-they are neither left nor right leaning but sure know how to keep you angry at your fellow Americans.
Firstly, no one should be forming political or social ideologies based around institutions that are ratings driven. This includes liberal and conservative outlets. Having a viable opinion on local and world issues requires an incredible amount of time spent researching historical events, stats, etc...I fortunately have more time on my hands than say some late 20's-30's couple with kids who sit down for dinner and the news. But those like me are rare. Its easy to see why one could assume what you are saying but its simply because most do not understand what it takes to truly know whats occurring. How many individuals do you personally know that can give even a remotely accurate account of our geopolitical occurrences, international relations and history without referencing some popular televised news source. So many need their opinions dictated that its impossible to push through the required information to form valid ideas on world issues. This is all a result of ratings driven news and television.
I thought right-wingers were proud that FoxNews has more viewers than all other cable news shows combined. With more than 50% of the viewership how can you claim liberal bias?
The majority of journalists, reporters and anchors are Democrats.
The majority of writers, directors and producers are Democrats.
The majority of actors, musicians and artists are Democrats.
I don't know how anyone can, with a straight face, deny the left-wing bias in our media when it's an industry that is dominated by Liberals.

Am I the only one to notice the poster had no ill-will to Fox in that post. Note: I saw a fairly similar claim (minus how much power companies have) on another thread about Fox about a week ago...
