Speaking Of Media Bias... (Original Post)

(3,447 posts)1. True, if a touch misleading.
Not in the representation -- it's dead on. But more accurate (at least, I think?) would be 'among people that still watch TV, listen to Radio, or read a dead tree newspaper'. But that's a number that literally drops on a daily basis.
So yes, the media bias is everywhere and on all sides, but trying to stick it to one side or the other is an exercise in propaganda and selective blindness. OTOH, this comic is very useful in reminding Republicans that it DOES go both ways, something they tend to overlook when they talk about the 'liberal' media.
And on an unrelated note, I think I might very well overanalyze things, particularly after a certain hour of night. I wonder why that is?
