No, Virginia (and the rest of you states), the media is not all that 'liberal'

I lack the emotional stamina to “debate” on this Board …
On the Home Page of Wash. Times (not the Politics page, nor the Opinion page, but the Home Page) we see headlines including
*
Michelle Obama sticks taxpayers with monster tab for rental cars in Japan
Jay Leno called ‘kind of racist’ by intern for disliking Mexican food
Suspect in ‘Top Model’ killing was Dreamer approved for Obama amnesty
Was Hillary Clinton running her own rogue intel operation?
Republicans talk of an imperial presidency - and royalty visits the White House
Hillary Clinton should face criminal charges
5 ways Obama camp has shown hatred toward Bibi
IRS blames Obamacare for shoddy customer service
Family secret: What the left won’t tell you about black crime*

This was not even a complete list of the right-slanted headlines on the Home Page: Cut-and-paste was difficult and I got tired.

And nobody has posted a comparably slanted list from “mainstream” media.

@septimus

Of the study’s two authors, Jeffrey Milyo is a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, formerly known as Charles Koch Foundation; and Tim Groseclose is author of the paperback Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind. Do these sound like the “objective political scientists” we should listen to?

Answering my own question, I don’t think so. Please re-read the “qualifications” of the two authors.

But in reply I get only.

@aldiboronti

You have a better system of assessment than being reviewed by your peers in the field? I’d like to hear it.

For someone who feels the need to explain peer review to the class …

@Ravenman

You’re measuring the quality of journalism in addition to bias.

So is the revised hypothesis that “mainstream” media is left-slanted but of higher quality than right-wing media?

@John_Mace

Can you show your work as to how you got the “correct” answers?

No comment on substance. Doesn’t offer his own opinion, if any. No clue that he even grasped that my post was obviously debatable opinion. Just a useless Pavlovian-reflex jab.

Kudos to intelligent Dopers who do have the patience and emotional stamina to “debate” politics on this Board.
