Lessons in spinSee Gallup poll showing Americans believe in liberal media bias. See Gallup trying to spin its own poll: It's true that substantially more Americans say that the news media are too liberal than say they are too conservative. At the same time, a majority says that the news media are either too conservative, or just about right.Just like the USA Today story on civil unions, it's like saying that Hank Aaron and I combine for 755 home runs. It is clear that the underlying dynamic behind the finding that the news media are too liberal is the widespread belief among conservatives that the news media are too liberal, contrasted with the far less prevalent view among liberals that the news media are too conservative.Uh, no. It's because 40% of moderates say the media is too liberal while only 15% say it is too conservative. |
