Washington Correspondents Declared They Vote Democrat 93% of the Time
Posted by Steve Wolfer on 7/28, 2:55pm
UCLA political science professor Tim Groseclose has a new book out, Left Turn, which highlights the media's left-wing bias. He writes about the poll in which Washington correspondents declared that they vote Democratic 93 percent to 7 percent (the rest of the country is split about 50-50). Because of this bias, he writes, we are prevented "... from seeing the world as it actually is. Instead, we see only a distorted version of it. It is as if we see the world through a glass—a glass that magnifies the facts that liberals want us to see and shrinks the facts that conservatives want us to see."

...

"Fox News is clearly more conservative than ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and National Public Radio. Some will conclude that 'therefore, this means that Fox News has a conservative bias,'" he writes... "Instead, maybe it is centrist, and possibly even left-leaning, while all the others are far left. It's like concluding that six-three is short just because it is short compared to professional basketball players."
