The Liberal Media
Can we start a thread that would provide overwhelming proof that the majority of elite media is not liberal. Other than CBS, do any of the Networks and cable news channels donate more money to Democrats than Republicans?

1. No further proof required
I think now that corporations cannot directly donate huge sums to politicians anymore, they are heavily slanting their content to make up the difference.

They keep accusing themselves of being liberal, so they can keep making their slant more conservative. Some journalists have talked themselves into believing the lie because it helps with their conscience, but mostly its just a lie to get you to shut up.

As for CBS, I believe they are just doing barely when they can to keep the attention their market niche... which consists of a lot of people who WANT CBS to be liberal. Remember they are a conglomerate now like the others, not solely a TV network.

2. Well ...
Let's see; national radio talk shows? Jeez, they were all liberal even before Air America. Limbaugh is a freaking Socialist.
Fox, CNN, ABC, NBC ... what a bunch of pinkos.
Time, US News and World Report ... the American version of Pravda.
And at election time everyone knows that nearly every newspaper in America will endorse Kerry.

Eric Alterman, What Liberal Media?
David Brock, The Republican Noise Machine

Isn't this "overwhelming proof"? What more do we need?
