We were discussing the idea of a "liberal media" today
I've heard that term used, but never really understood its implications. Do people actually believe in a conspiracy within the mainstream media? Do people think that major media outlets are financed by the democratic party to advance the liberal agenda?
I do think the media tends to be liberal in many instances, however that is only because those who chose to enter the field of journalism will naturally tend to agree with socially liberal viewpoints. Someone who has made the commitment to become a journalist probably believes in the free flow of information, and is opposed to government censorship. How do you think that same person would feel about giving the government the right to decide what a woman can and can't do with her body?
