I am quite left leaning and yes, the main stream media (no, AM talk radio is not MSM) is very left leaning. I have found that many liberals fail to see any liberal bias probably because the MSM is preaching to their values. Personally, I find many on the left absolutely intolerant of any other opinions, they can be quite vile.

As I said, I am left leaning but I am not a kool aid drinker. I consider myself a sensible liberal. Something that is quite rare today. It boggles my mind how you are called out as a right winger gun nut bible thumping xenophobic bigot if you have an opinion that is outside of the liberal narrative. As I said, many on the left are quite vile.

Are you kidding? Most of them won't even admit there is bias other than Fox. They think CNN, MSNBC, Huffington etc are all just fair, honest, balanced reporting.

Is this the type of brain-washing world you wish to live in, and call "progress"?
Bias is a gross understatement.

It looks like the facts on liberal bias in the media are true:

Conservatives are right: The news media is very liberal - Fortune

The Liberal Media: It's No Myth - Harvard University

The above shows the totalitarian nature of liberals. Libs do not believe in freedom of speech, unless the views expressed are liberal views.

CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, PBS, and NPR all have far left media bias.

Fox has a conservative bias.

Given that the average liberal is a fascist, one can understand that they want NO VOICES OF OPPOSITION TO LIBERAL DOGMA. The press, which used to be the "watchdog" of the public, has become a leftist propaganda wing. With nearly every media outlet supporting lib policy, a lib simply cannot stand that conservative views are allowed to be expressed anywhere.

Libs are terrified of the truth and prefer a homogeneous, obedient press which serves as political lapdogs for dem politicians.

What a shame.
