Internet Guru calls for action against media's liberal bias

[Fingerless Glove]

According to Andrew Breithart, a liberal bias has become so ingrained in the global media that conservatives must fight hard to challenge it effectively ...\

His personal goal is to "break down this politically correct paradigm" which limits what views might be held/upholded or put under the duress of being examined with bias and withheld from being discussed openly

..what do you think?

Sounds ike an interesting topic to discuss, but i would like to know a little more before venturing out on the eggshells - which says something about Mr Breithart's POV too!

Do you have a citation for the original article from which you have drawn your -very short - summary, please?

Don't you think Mr. Breithart's POV is a bit obvious..I mean, I quoted him..it's clear how he thinks to me...I'm asking for a response to his quote.

I don't really understand why you need to see the original article..it's not on the Internet anyway and the publication I read it in isn't available where you live.

Anymore questions?

Yes!

Global media - is he talking about newspapers? Radio? TV? Internet blogs? Wikipedia? All, some or none?

Where does his "liberal bias" fit, on a spectrum from hard right to far left? An American Democrat could be still considered a right-winger in some European countries, for example.

put under the duress of being examined with bias

Isn't the best thing to examine any view without bias as far as possible, to test its integrity? Is that what you meant to write / Mr Breithart wrote?

Did he provide examples or was he just pissing in the wind from the position of being an outsider?

From the little you provided in the OP:

The UK is "blessed" with a Press that ranges from right to left. The internet is uncensored and if one is looking for extremist (in either direction) views they can be found there.

The population of any country tends to a homogeny usually and if the consensus is "liberal" then the views of the media will reflect that in order to sell their product. If Mr Breithart's view of what is "conservative" is not expressed in the global media, whatever that is, then he needs to self-publish - and see what the take-up is, either in pecuniary receipts or hits on a website.

Bring back the art of the pamphleteer, is what i say!

Yes well..Mr. Breithart and his reckonings have been published for some time..I don't think that I need to explain his tautology at all...he's thinking whatever way he thinks regardless of how I could surmise or analyse how he came to the way of thinking he arrived at

C'mere..I'm not going to participate in some sort of self serving baloney by an onanistic forum contributor who gets their jollies by being difficult just because they don't want to discuss a thing that goes against the grain in their thinking..

I read a few links that a google threw up, with his "Bounty" of $100,000 for the "Journolist",
the supposed mythical list that all the so called lefty-liberals are supposed to be communicating with each other in some conspiracy to sway public opinion!

It sounds to me like a man who's over-indulged in the ol' "Devil's Dandruff", and has developed a nasty case of paranoia!


I don't think there's a "liberal bias" in the media at all!
Rupert Murdoch OWNS most of it FFS!

If anything, I'd say it was the opposite; that there's a "right-wing bias". Like the Mail, The Sun, The Telegraph, Fox News, etc etc.

if you haven't got the courage of your convictions you should probably desist from opining..it's a waste of space otherwise.
