From AngryJournalist.com:
I'm trying to figure out how any of these "readers" griping about the MSM and liberal bias can lay that charge on every journalist in the nation.I'm a liberal guy myself, I make no attempt to hide that fact. But look through my Dealerscope and E-Gear and other professional stuff- can you find political bias? I write about frickin' Wal*Mart almost every day, yet I somehow suppress the urge to call them evil capitalist swine each time. I suspect most journalists are in about the same boat I am. Posted by Stephen Silver at April 3, 2008 05:11 PMI don't have a journalism degree and I work at a paper in a county that is mostly rural and partly suburban. I am trying to think where I could have inserted liberal bias into a story about which roads will be repaved this summer, a story about how the sewer tap-in fees are being raised, a story about the two new developments planned, a story about the route the new water line will take, a story about how the supervisors voted for three new housing developments and approved a grant to help pay for a new firetruck, a couple of stories about the school budget, a story about how graduation is being moved to later because the district used up all the snow days, a story about how drought affected the local corn crop, a story about a new restaurant in town, and similar stories.
