Media Bias Is Real, Finds UCLA Political Scientist

#2  "I suspected that many media outlets would tilt to the left because surveys have shown that reporters tend to vote more Democrat than Republican," said Tim Groseclose, a UCLA political scientist and the study's lead author. "But I was surprised at just how pronounced the distinctions are."

Lets hope this guy has tenure---cause journalists are not the only ones tilting to the left.

#1  In other news, water is wet.

Don't expect this to make the front page.

... almost all major media outlets tilt to the left. These are just a few of the surprising findings from a UCLA-led study
Surprising to whom, exactly? Not anybody with a brain, boobie.
"I suspected that many media outlets would tilt to the left because surveys have shown that reporters tend to vote more Democrat than Republican,"
OK, so he's sort of honest....
"But I was surprised at just how pronounced the distinctions are."
But obviously clueless.
"Overall, the major media outlets are quite moderate compared to members of Congress..."
Which members? Pelosi? Kennedy? Shirley Moonbat, ferchrissakes?
"nearly all of them lean to the left"
Ya' think?

Did our tax dollars pay for this study of the obvious? That will be buried and/or denied.
