Liberal media, liberal media! For much of the last 20 years or so, that's been the drumbeat of conservatives in America--"how can we get a fair shake when the media has such a liberal bias?"
Either they were making stuff up (wouldn't be the first time), they did something about it, or perhaps a little bit of both. But circa 2007, at least among those who are free to editorialize, the news may be making you blue because the most-read speakers are mostly red.
So says Media Matters, which has undertaken a massive study comprising 96% of the nation's daily papers in an attempt to discover the balance of syndicated editorial content in the American print media. And what they found was not a balance: The report shows that conservative syndicated columnists are carried in far more newspapers, with much greater audience reach than their progressive counterparts, giving them a distinct advantage in the marketplace of ideas.
