About that Famous Liberal Media Bias



Media Matters has dissected that famous liberal media and, big surprise, it's not in this country.

[I]n paper after paper, state after state, and region after region, conservative syndicated columnists get more space than their progressive counterparts.

– “Sixty percent of the nation’s daily newspapers print more conservative syndicated columnists every week than progressive syndicated columnists. Only 20 percent run more progressives than conservatives, while the remaining 20 percent are evenly balanced.”

– “In a given week, nationally syndicated progressive columnists are published in newspapers with a combined total circulation of 125 million. Conservative columnists, on the other hand, are published in newspapers with a combined total circulation of more than 153 million.”

– In 38 states, “conservative columns reach more readers in total than progressive columns.”

– In only 12 states is the progressive voice greater than the conservative voice.
