College professors teaching material are going to be less influenced by political affilitation than political operatives.



How many years of college have you been to so far? I've been through 5, and in those 5 years, I can safely say that most of my professors did not simply teach out of the textbooks they were provided. It was blatantly obvious what their political ideology was through classroom conversations, newspaper articles they provided, the periodicals they chose to have in their room, etc. College professors do teach a core curriculum, through their own experiences and beliefs.

Again, this is the only real numerical quantification of a bias in the media.



You're right.. you have shown us all by finding this obviously unquestionable study. I'm not going to argue with you that their findings proved more Republicans were on those shows than Democrats. But what you really lack is that silver tongue that party pushers like you win people over with. People twist words, omit important facts, etc, in an attempt to get people to believe them. They rely on the simple fact that humans typically take what others say at face value without putting any real thought in to it. You're one of those people, you just really suck at it. Does this study prove their is a bias in the media? Sure.. I'll give you that. It proves that more Republicans have been on Sunday morning talk shows that Democrats. Beyond that, I challenge you to show me what "bias" they have proved. Cause, when most people use the term "media bias" they are talking about the content of the news. Not the idiot who spewed it. Thanks to mediamatters survey, you can now go around with that half-truthed, silver tongue and tell everyone you can prove their is a bias in the media. And as long as they are a stupid, unquestioning human being, they may believe you and you can go to sleep better that night knowing you "sort of" fooled someone in to agreeing with your beliefs. Congratulations.

I challenge you to create a better method.

If I gave two shits about disproving a study which was created to misrepresent the true nature of "media bias" I would.. but since I don't I'll just go about my day like usual.
