There are many examples of liberal views in the Liberals article. When a journalist uses these liberal views in a one-sided manner, the journalist is exhibiting liberal bias.
CBS insider Bernard Goldberg wrote the definitive book on liberal bias in the media, simply entitled Bias.
- He asserts that an "inability to see liberal views as liberal views ... is at the heart of the entire problem."
- He wrote: "Pauline Kael, for years the brilliant film critic at the New Yorker, was completely baffled about how Richard Nixon could have beaten George McGovern in 1972: 'Nobody I know voted for Nixon.' Never mind that Nixon carried 49 states. She wasn't kidding."[2]
He also suggested that liberals don't even see their liberal values as "liberal":
- "Their views on all the big social issues ... aren't liberal views at all. They're simply reasonable views, shared by all the reasonable people the media elites mingle with ..."[3]
Media Bias Is Real, Finds UCLA Political Scientist
"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." [4]
