Do more people view "liberal media" as a positive or negative??

If more people view the term "liberal media" as a pejorative, then obviously the media is doing a lousy job selling itself.

Why would the "liberal media" create a term that excoriates themselves?

Or is it that the term "liberal media" was created by someone that is opposed to the message of the mainstream media?

And why is the actual media unable to defend itself from the negative connotations of the "liberal media" charges and biases?

Is there someone that is so influential that they can convince 90% of the people that the "liberal media" are nothing but propagandists?

Is it a form of mind control?

The mainstream media is a vast right-wing conspiracy. There are a few papers, like the Nation, Harper's and Salon, who seem lef-leaning because they are middle of the road and fair. There are a few truly left-leaning news magazines, like Mother Jones.

The rest of them parrot the right wing talking points.
