http://www.jewishworldreview.com -- WHEN THE SUBJECT of liberal bias in the media is brought up, particularly during an election campaign, journalists tend to roll their eyes and groan "there you go again" at this recrudescence of an old right-wing shibboleth. This pose, while convenient, was shaken by a famous Roper poll of 139 Washington bureau chiefs and correspondents. It found that in 1992 they had voted 89 percent for Clinton, 7 percent for Bush. Regular Americans had voted Clinton over Bush, 43 percent to 38 percent. The country went marginally for Clinton; the journalists went for him 13 to 1.

Emphasis has to be placed on the fact this is an article from the year 2000. A different time, a different World as 2001 would come about later.

-suggest that liberal bias deniers go to jail
-liberal bias is so universally proved that there should be no debate about it, and refuse to do so.

The funny thing is, every once in a while some media type will actually just come out and admit their liberal bias. We are all so satisfied with the admission that we forget to bookmark the link and as time goes by they just start denying it again.

True, but six years old. Why not post a more current article. The slant is still on.

Yeah, that's right - why don't you just repost this.

I think the point is that even though the article is old, and deals with the election of 1992, nothing has changed.

That's as far as I got before I rolled my eyes.
