I have never been arrested, so I can't confirm that.

and I am never bashful in pressing my case.



Here is one factual basis for accusing mainstream media of being a cheer squad for socialism;

I don't doubt these results would be replicated in most western nations.



Now, instead of playing word games, how about you discuss this issue based on FACT, not the past or present vocation of contributors to the discussion.


I haven't yet found time to offer a "competing" flim-flam "study" but I'm more than happy to tell you why I reject yours as having no value beyond Entertainment.



First, the study you endorse is from 2005, the beginning of Bush43's second term.  Just stop for a second and contemplate how far back in time that was in terms of US politics and the political issues of the day.



Second, the primary author of this study has used a methodology which he takes pride in suggesting that NO media scholar would ever think to use.  And he spends some time assuring the reader that no outside money funded the survey -- it was all paid for from UCLA's research slush funds (I forget what universities call that fund.)  That turns out to be a diversion from discussing his OWN bona fides, which I'll offer you here.

QuoteTo this day, I consider Goldwater one of my political heroes.  Four others are Ronald Reagan, Jack Kemp, Bob Dole, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.  Four other heroes, in addition to being successful politicians, are true scholars] Newt Gingrich, Phil Gramm, Dick Armey, and Dick Cheney.



My own PQ is approximately 13.


That's a PQ that puts him further to the right of the putative center than Ted Kennedy was to the left of it, okay?



Third, in designing his study he has used a metric which was originally developed by the leftist ADA for scoring the public posturing and the voting of members of Congress.  Such metrics are often developed by various pressure groups, the NRA being another notorious example.  The problem with his use of this metric is that it doesn't measure BIAS, but rather it tries to measure the amount of congruence between media "thinking" and the "thinking" of legislators.  



Inasmuch as said legislators are in large part outright whores who base their "thinking" on the corporate and special-interest money flowing into their pockets, it is highly laughable to suggest that the congressional Middle of 50 would also be the ideal, healthy benchmark for media to aspire to as its Middle.



I could rant on, but here are a couple of other discussions of the merits of your survey.

the idea that the mainstream media isn't biased to the left is like arguing the sky isn't blue or the grass isn't green.  



In fact I wouldn't even call it bias anymore.  Its outright activism.  It couldn't be more skewed if you put SJW activists, university professors or the democrat party in charge of the media.



Peaches you and other progs, or whatever you want to call yourself, don't see the bias because its right along with your thinking, so of course you don't have a problem with it.
