A no-spin look at print media
Guests: Author Bob Kohn & columnist Debra Saunders
The Factor analyzed the editorial pages of ten leading newspapers, and discovered that liberal columnists outnumber conservatives by about 4-1. Author Bob Kohn and columnist Debra Saunders joined The Factor to explain the apparent imbalance. "This is an industry that is always looking for diversity," Saunders said, "but not diversity of opinion. People in this business are overwhelmingly liberal. And they will tell you that most journalists are liberal because smart people tend to be liberal." Kohn claimed the liberal bias isn't limited to the editorial pages. "These papers are providing a skewed view of public opinion. The bigger problem is when they slant their news on the news pages." The Factor contended that the major problem is that papers like the New York Times and Washington Post influence the rest of the media. "The newspapers set the agenda for the television people. So it bleeds over into local television, and the folks are getting group think. The propaganda value of having so many columnists on the left is overwhelming."
Simple huh??? if the same message is repeated over and over at a 4 to 1 ratio sooner or later some converts will be made.
