Nearly half of Americans (48%) say the media are too liberal, tying the high end of the narrow 44% to 48% range recorded over the past decade. One-third say the media are just about right while 15% say they are too conservative. Overall, perceptions of bias have remained quite steady over this tumultuous period of change for the media, marked by the growth of cable and Internet news sources.
What's surprising in this poll, is that there are people so out of touch with reality, that they actually think the American media has a conservative bias... lmmfao

Did we compensate for the fact that conservatives tend to believe everything under the sun not conservative is liberal?
Opinion polls are of limited value because they don't force people to adhere to objective and clearly defined standards of identity. They don't tell us anything meaningful about what's true and what's false, and they only partially represent what people believe to be true or false. I don't care if over 50% of the population perceives the media to be liberal, because any number of unexplored impressions could be dictating that response.
Hmm, it refers to NEWS media only and 48% think it is not Too Liberal.
Considering it is the Conservative arm that has the biggest beef over this issue I think 48% is a pretty low figure.
The media does not have a conservative or liberal bias. It has a financial bias. They report what best makes them money, and that's controversy.
That "Corporate Media" crap invented by left to convince people that not only didn't liberal bias exist, but in fact the media was likely more partial to conservatives, failed miserably. The only people that embraced that tripe, were the people who already believed liberal bias didn't exist and desperately needed something to justify their beliefs. It was in essence asking people to ignore their own eyes and believe that what they were seeing couldn't possibly be happening... lol
Since 2003, when the far left invented their "Corporate Media" theory to deceive the public, the number of people who see the media as having a conservative bias has remained unchanged, while the number of people seeing a liberal bias has gone up 3 points.
CONCLUSION = FAIL

The United States media follows a liberal model, but not as opposed to a conservative one. We follow a liberal model as opposed to a polarized pluralist or democratic corporatist model. In this respect the liberal model is one in which state intervention is limited and where the profession of journalism centers on the objectivity norm. The polarized pluralist model is one in which newspapers are not market-driven but are an intellectual vehicle for elite discussion, and the democratic corporatist model combines features of the first two.
Those who refer to the media as liberal and elite as opposed to conservative are in fact suggesting that the United States media follows a polarized pluralist or democratic corporatist model. They are suggesting that the press is not concerned with objectivity, but rather provides a forum for the intellectual elite to present their debate.
So the fact that a plurality of people polled believe the media is biased to the left proves ... ?
A study ran checking out media stories in the 2000 election cycle. More negative stories were run about Gore than Bush. Conclusion = fail?
Ah right, appeal to popularity. :sarcasticclapIt proves that seeing is believing. The American people have consistently seen a liberal bias in the news media for decades now, and no amount of rationalization, scientific studies or drummed up theories saying otherwise, is going to change the reality of what people see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears.
The main stream media in America has a very clear and undeniable liberal bias... That is a fact, not opinion.

:lamo:lamo No wonder you love Glenn Beck.Even if you take conservatives, liberals, republicans and democrats out of the equation, the results are still clear.
Nearly half (45%) of independents see the media as having a liberal bias, 10 points higher (35%) than those who thought it was centrist. With moderates, 40% of them see the media as having a liberal bias and 40% see it as centrist. Only 15% of both groups see a conservative bias.
The time for denial is over people. The facts are clear and the people have spoken.

Obviously we live on a flat Earth! :roll:Even if you take conservatives, liberals, republicans and democrats out of the equation, the results are still clear.
Nearly half (45%) of independents see the Earth as being flat, 10 points higher (35%) than those who thought it was round. With moderates, 40% of them see the Earth as being flat and 40% see it as round. Only 15% of both groups see a square Earth.
