Default Re: Mark Halperin acknowledges liberal media bias

[ QUOTE ]
The overwhelming percentage of complaints of a liberal bias as compared to conservative bias in the mainstream press is to be ignored of course, just the result of a deliberate attempt of the right wing conspiracy to dupe their followers(they have been quite successful apparently).

Think about the words you wrote that I've emboldened. The complaints about "liberal media bias" are circulated and given credence by, of course, the media (such as the claims of liberal bias by representatives from Fox, ABC and MSNBC cited in these threads). You claim that the prevalence of "liberal bias" over "conservative bias" is prima facie evidence of the former without taking into account the obvious self-interest that would exist of the media were in fact unfairly biased toward either end of the spectrum. Obviously, in either case there would be an incentive to claim the opposite of the truth.

The evident failure of "liberal bias" followers to realize this elementary fact is further proof that they are, by nature, a credulous lot.
