The liberal media swears they’re unbiased. According to them, it’s just a weird, inexplicable quirk of fate when conservatives perpetually get the dagger and liberals are always pampered, propped up, and protected. Still, they’re adamant: “There is no media bias!”
Major colleges agree:
- University of Virginia: Not fake news: Major study finds no “liberal bias” in media…
- Florida State: FSU study finds no media bias when it comes to story selection
- New York University: False Accusation: The Unfounded Claim that Social Media Companies Censor Conservatives
- George Mason University: Study: Media Fact-Checker Says Republicans Lie More
- Columbia University: How did Republicans learn to hate the news media?
And so does the mainstream media — which does acknowledge some bias (usually in the form of corporate power, institutional racism, or various conspiracies about the Patriarchy enslaving women and minorities), but scoffs at the idea that there’s any sort of political bias:
- The New Yorker: How Biased Is the Media, Really?
- Poynter: No, Fox News and MSNBC are not the same thing (Spoiler: Fox News is far worse; words like “lie,” “dangerous,” “irresponsible,” and “misleading” are used.)
- L.A. Times: It isn’t ‘biased’ to report that right-wing lies are false
- Mashable: Once again, there is no ‘anti-conservative’ bias on social media
But bravo to New York Magazine for taking the brave, sophisticated stance that, okay, media bias might exist… but it’s too pro-Republican: The Media’s Double Standard Favors Trump, Not Harris.
Clearly, then, the only viable solution is for the media to be even MORE anti-Trump!
Still, the 2024 leader for leftwing bias and partisan reporting was pollster Ann Selzer, the head of Selzer & Co. of West Des Moines.
In the final days of the presidential election, Selzer released a blockbuster Iowa poll that showed Donald Trump losing the ruby-red state he had previously won in 2016 and 2020! According to Selzer, Harris was now beating Trump 47% to 44%.
It was a bombshell report. And the media couldn’t get enough:
Politico, Axios, Fox, Roll Call, and more all called Selzer’s Iowa poll the “gold standard” in polling. But I guess gold isn’t as valuable as it once was, because on Election Day, Kamala Harris only received 42.5% of the Iowa vote…
