Dear "Liberal Media" Conspiracy Theorist,
Please answer the following questions:
1. Is there such a thing as conservative media bias?
2. Is it bias per se that irks you, or only the supposed liberal kind?
3. Have you defined exactly what you mean by “liberal,” “media” and “bias”?
4. Has it occurred to you that “the media” is actually the corporate media, and encompasses print, radio (dominated by right wing blowhards), TV, film, music, and now video games and the Internet?
5. If “the media” does indeed have a “liberal bias,” can you explain why the capitalist plutocrats who own these media corporations would want to promote a liberal agenda?
6. Is your evidence for this alleged liberal bias purely anecdotal, or can you prove systemic, institutionalized, industry-wide media bias?
7. Isn’t bias in the eye of the beholder, and thus ultimately not provable?
8. Isn’t the charge of liberal bias simply specious claptrap meant to deflect justified and necessary criticism of the Republican Party?
