But that's not it, as far as I can figure. That leaves one other possibility. Messrs. Rather, Brokaw and Jennings don't even know what liberal bias is. I concede this is hard to believe, but I'm convinced it's why we keep getting these ridiculous denials, such as Mr. Rather's response to Geraldo Rivera the other night. But real media bias comes not so much from what party they attack.
Liberal bias is the result of how they see the world.
I asked him, since he had written op-eds for that paper. I couldn't believe he was serious. The Times is a newspaper that has taken the liberal side of every important social issue of our time, which is fine with me. And it is this inability to see liberal views as liberal that is at the heart of the entire problem. No liberal labels necessary.
