No, this was no joke.  I am fully in agreement with the findings of this study.  I see no other legitimate scholarly study that concludes differently.  The author's of this study cited several other previous studies by economists that also concluded similarly that there was a liberal bias in the media.

 

Instead of nitpicking and taking things out of context, trying to attack my source, why can't you provide a "legitimate" source of your own that comes to a different conclusion?

 

And I'm not talking about a media conducted or sponsored study of their own bias.   It has to be independent like mine.

OK try      http:/mediamatters.org/research/200512220003

 

I think this is written by some people possibly smarter than me and definitely with more reasearch facilities.

 

Some exerpts they'v made about the paper you referenced:

 

But the study employed a measure "bias" so problematic that its findings are next to useless.

 

In other words the study rests on a presumption that can only be described as bizzare
.

The authors' ignorance comes through in ways large and small.

 

Professors Groseclose and Milyo have made charges of bias that are among the least substantiated that we have encountered.

.

Study Riddled With Flaws

 

They go on to give several references to better studies.

Yesssssireeeeeeeeeee......shredded.  You sure got us that time.

 

I'm glad to see you admit that.

 

(The boys are in the corner, snickering and pointing at Mal).

 

You've go to give some of this context.   Like what boys,  why snickering and pointing.

 

Good one!

 

Are you congratulating me or yourself here?

Malodery:  You really crack me up!   Media Matters???  Get real.   From their own web site re: who are we:

 

"Media Matters for America is a Web-based, not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) progressive research and information center dedicated to comprehensively monitoring, analyzing, and correcting conservative misinformation in the U.S. media."

 

I asked you to come up with an "independent" study like I did that will refute mine.   At best some other University study not sponsored by some liberal cabal.  You came up with something from a liberal talking points web site!      You really are scraping the bottom now aren't you.  

 

If you can't post a truly independent scholarly study to refute mine, just admit it.   Hilarious
