Liberal mainstream media

[politicus]

Conservatives often claim that the "mainstream media" have a Liberal bias. Do you agree that the big TV networks and broadsheet newspapers in the US generally have a Liberal (or anti-Conservative) bias?

[politicus]

The 'mainstream' media is increasingly an anachronism.

Thats true. But the concept is very much alive in the political discourse of certain groups.

[politicus]

Yes. But as a liberal I could care less.

Although I've always wondered why this has been the case. Were the liberals the first ones to establish media companies? Is the journalism world filled with high educated people that requires a high education level that comes with liberalism? I'm not sure. 

Journalism as a profession attracts left leaning types in all countries. But generally that effect is countered by media companies being controlled by rich, Conservatives.
