Saw a great bumper sticker today:
"The media is as liberal as the conservative businesses that own them."
Made me think.
For a while, I've been persuaded (thanks to Bernard Goldberg's book) of
the liberal bias in the mainstream media. But, the fact is, these media
companies are exactly that, companies, and they have got to look after
their own businesses, revenue being top of the list. Makes me wonder if
the "liberal bias" is a truism but that it is manufactured by the
conservative businesses because it is GOOD FOR BUSINESS.
Why not? Add some controversy. Get people riled up. This jacks up
ratings and then, presto, you have more revenue.
