Have you ever actually watched them? Are you joking? Being a corporation has nothing to do with it. Do you even understand the purpose of incorporation?
I went to a private school where literally every other person (except for 1 person besides me) in the entire school was a conservative Republican, and they constantly talked about this "liberal media." Except that the examples that they provided to prove the existence of this so-called "liberal media" was always lame. They would pick up a Newsweek magazine and be like, "Look at how stupid GW Bush looks on the cover! The liberal media is ALWAYS using pictures where Bush looks stupid to try and discredit him!"
I have yet to see real examples of this "liberal media."
MSNBC. Dan Rather. NY Times. Wa Po. LA Times. ABC. CBS. Then there is the not so much more subtle Hollywood. If you can't see it you aren't paying attention.
The fact that the children you went to school with couldn't validate their claims to your childish requirements does not invalidate the premise.

No. They slant liberal in what they choose to report on and how they choose to report on it. I get the NY Times delivered to my step everyday, read it and could flag a dozen examples on the front page alone of slanted reprting on any given day.Quote:
Also I've seen CBS and NBC cover illegal immigration and Medicare scandals, which I hardly call "left."
If CBS and NBC cover illegal border crashing scum scandals it is in the favor of the illegal border jumping scum. The only scandal for medicare with those assholes is that somebody providing services cheated. They never bitch about the cheaters getting the srvices

I really don't see anything left about it, unless you're talking about things such as abortion and gays. Which really, if most people in this nation are for, then you really can't call it "left," but "moderate."
I'm referring to fiscal conservatism, not social conservatism. Which, if you open the business section of NY Times or LA Times, there are many conservatives and moderates in the paper as well.
Most journalists are actually what I would refer to as "moderate." Is anybody advocating for truly revolutionary and extreme, rebellious political ideologies? No, they aren't. They simply cater to the status quo of popular opinion. They are moderate.
For instance, name me one journalist in any of these famous publications that advocates for communism or complete social democracy. You won't find any, because these news stations are MODERATE.

They constantly blather that the government needs to control more of the commerce of the nation. That is the leftitude.Quote:

I read the NY Times every day. Their business section is extremely liberal, especially when they venture from 100% fact reporting. They spin everything.Quote:

If you think most journalists are moderate you are a flaming commieQuote:

Bullshit. NY Times. Eduardo Porter from the business section comes instantly to mind. Charles Blow. Paul Krugman. Gail Collins. Maureen Dowd. Flaming liberal nutjobs. Theer is notihng moderate about these people and you would know this if you actually read them. Gretchen Morgensen, another one from the business section.

I am familiar the most with Paul Krugman but I don't remember amy of his works being the least bit radical. Can you inference or source examples of journalistic works that you consider to advocate radicalism, revolution, communism, social democracy, or any of the like?

Pick any column he has written in ten years or so. Here's a link to somebody pulling his nutcase commie pants down http://krugman-in-wonderland.blogspot.com/
I don't know that he has ever advocated revolution. he is slowly getting his way without it.
