Conservative Political Forum

Thank you for enlightening me on that. How were they allowed to get control of the media?

Maybe the owners are steering their companies where they want them to go.

Conservatives do not want their politicians to control the media, they want the media to tell the truth. The liberals do not want their politicians to control the media either, they want the media to control the politicians.

That makes sense however the owners should be able to steer their media companies in the direction they want it to go. The owners do not necessarily come from the liberal areas. It seems like conservatives in politics would want conservatives with money to control the media.

Spot on. From your link.

And the thing is, conservatives have a point. Study after study has shown that the mainstream media leans left, and that, as economists Tim Groseclose and Jeff Milyo have written, "an almost overwhelming fraction of journalists are liberal." The extent of this bias, of course, depends on what your definitions of liberal and conservative. And the media has other, arguably more important, biases: towards controversy and producing content that is profitable. But it is safe to say that the median journalist in America is to the left of the median American voter, and that this affects how the news is presented to the public.

First, this is not new. They have just come out of the closet. Notice, these organizations are based out NYC and Washington, hotbeds of liberalism. They went to leftists universities and this is the result.

Scott Pelley did the CBS nightly news until recently and he is from Texas not the liberal areas and went to college there. While he was doing the news, they were at least as biased and anti-Trump as the other networks. That suggests that the owners have more clout then the journalists.

I actually replied to the wrong message. I should have replied to Solar's reply #17 (see above) which states the following:

"But it is safe to say that the median journalist in America is to the left of the median American voter, and that this affects how the news is presented to the public."

They better be.  You have to be a Marxist to get a job with a news organization -- with the exception of a very, very few.  With that said, if we know their politics, then journalistic ethics are out the window anyway.  We shouldn't have any idea how a journalist leans.
