Quick little example on how to find liberal media bias in the AP


Below is a quote from this article by AP hack "non partisan" writer David Bauder.

"David Brock, founder and CEO of the liberal media watchdog Media Matters for America, said Olbermann "led the charge" against "conservative misinformation in prime time."

"Keith is an innovator and extremely talented broadcaster who showed there was a market for progressive views on cable news," Brock said. "I'm sure we'll be hearing more of him soon, and I eagerly await hearing of his next move."

The mood was different at Newsbusters, a website operated by the conservative Media Research Center: "You guys at Newsbusters should really break out the champagne and party," wrote one reader about Olbermann. "


Look at the difference in how both viewpoints were written. This is what is defined as "liberal media bias"...for the "heroic" 'media watchdog' liberal group, they identify it as a watchdog without using liberal as a descriptor attached. They also let them make their own comment on "fighting conservative lies" or whatever spin they use to market themselves...then they let one of their Ad-Men/spokesmen define their view.
