Term:liberal media

From dKosopedia

The divisive term "liberal media" was first validated by American journalist Bernard Goldberg but has since become the main picket term of conservative news media, especially the Fox News Channel. Some of their comentators describe everything which is not Fox itself as being "liberal". A couple of notable assertions:

• Ann Coulter refers to Time magazine and Newsweek as part of the lunatic left
• Bill O'Reilly refers to the Globe & Mail, a Toronto newspaper, as being akin to "The Havana Press", and accuses the Canadian Broadasting Corporation of issuing propaganda similar in impact to that of the Nazis

Calmer commentators such as Tim Graham point out that conservative groups are often called "conservative" by the media, while Sierra Club, Greenpeace and NAACP are not typically described as "liberal".

Whether there is an actual liberal bias in mass media is another question entirely that is investigated in a neutral article on that topic alone.
