Its posted on Politico, not exactly a right wing site. This pretty much confirms what conservatives have been saying for so long. Anyone (240?) STILL want to pretend the media isnt massively biased towards left-leaning politicians and ideology???

Republicans is not bright enough to be journalists.
To be a journalist you need an open mind.

that's undeniable....however Journalists don't own the media, corporations do...With profit being the bottom line, not the unbiased truth.

Yeah and your grammar is shining example of left wing intellect ::)
And how exactly do you know you need an "open mind" to be a journalist?

Journalism in its purist form is raw news.
You need to spin/lie first to make it fit a republican audience.

don't engage him. he'll just muddle up the issue and then start making gay jokes about you when you ask him questions.

see, this is the thing -
the majority of the media is liberal.
the majority of print media is liberal.
the majority of advertising is liberal.
why?
Cause the majority of AMERICA is liberals. I think people cannot accept that. We already know, by definition, that HALF of the people you see on the street have an IQ below 100. That alone tells you the starting point. Repubs win the Houses because the country is so darn big, and the middle of the country is all repub country. But as far as population, as far as poeople - YES, more than 50.1% of the population in this country IS straight up liberal. Thank goodness for House districting, or the Dems would own all 3 houses.
Once you realize the majority of the nation is liberal, you suddenly realize why more TV channels lean lib. Restaurants lean lib. The laws lean lib. Court rulings lean lib. The things we see on store shelves, cater to liberals. Once you accept this TRUTH, you realize it's not some evil conspiracy to brainwash us... it's just the media companies offering what the MAJORITY of the population wants. Yes, more ppl watch FOX than any other news network, partly because the lib networks split it, and partly because more old people (repubs) watch cable news at 2pm than people in their 20s lol.
USA = majority liberal nation. It sucks, but it's reality. Agree or disagree?

YES!!!!!!
You put FOX new content on 5 channels, and watch numbers plummet. You put Eminem on one channel, funniest spring break titty flashes on another channel, idiotic cat videos on another channel, and maybe the fiery car crash channel... and you have a rating$ bonanza.
Conservative media is a bunch of old balding white dudes whining about libs. Right? And since more than 50% of the nation is libs, it makes sense that things are how they are.
Believe me - We don't see Mtv idiot shows on "I'm a teen mom!" because MTV execs love that content - they do it because tens of millions of idiots will tune in. Profit is what drives them - and if ten FOX networks would make $, that's what we would see. But FOX tried FOX II with the biz channel, and that sucked in ratings, right?

You wouldn't know what raw news was if it bit you in the ass. So if only 7% of journalist lean republican then 93% are spinning\lying for the democrat audience ( bet that never occurred to you before you write non-sense ??? )
-
Media's terrible. It's upside-down.
Should be a sea of reporters finding news everywhere.
Instead, it's a very, very small cabal of the worst sorts of people you can imagine, defining everything from the top, and our "sea of reporters" might as well be mindless robots.
Don't kid yourselves with the idea that the real profit is sought directly from the product, itself. Not for one minute, hombre. This is about information.

Agree that you are a savant.

we live in a liberal country. It totally sucks, but the number of people that are independent, responsible, who care about the constitution, and don't want to be coddled by the govt - is DEFINITELY less than 50.00%.
Can anyone disagree?

You don't need to spin/lie to a dem audience like you do conservatives.

Im not sure the majority of the population is liberal. There is perhaps a slight left lean majority, but its prob like 50-55% who lean left on most issues but are not as far left to be called 'liberals'.
And in any case the media slant is STILL NOWHERE NEAR reflecting the actual ratio of americans views. 93% of journalists identify with the democrats...no way in hell 93% of the country identifies with the democrats.

Where does it say that the political leanings of journalists have to be in line with the spectrum of our population?
Should that apply to the military too?
How about General electric?
The journalists aren't the issue. Our Media, what ever it is, is a result of the market place.
-
The majority of the country is right of center. The media is decidedly liberal, but we already knew that. I don't think there is any requirement that the media reflect what the country believes. They should just report the news. Have their opinions shows. Entertain, etc.
Unfortunately, they do disproportionately skew the "news" and they do have an impact on elections. But that's the price we pay in a free society.

The msm as a whole undeniably protects and coddles our first AA president. Have you heard some of the "hardball" questions he's routinely been asked by them over the last half dozen or so years?
And this admin is well known for threatening members of the media, using hardball tactics to control and censor them, even going after a few of them as criminals, etc.
The media SHOULD be totally honest and objective, but that doesn't happen - whether it be due to profits, inherent biases, or to protect their investment in the country's first AA president or whatever.

Seriously? When you walk around America, more than 50% of people are hard working, honest conservatives? Maybe where you live, but I look around SW FL, and I'd say way less than half of the people I meet are actual conservatives. Sure, they might call themselves conservatives... but they ain't.
Then again, there are people who call themselves conservative but endorse liberal ideals, such as amnesty, because "oh, I do suppose it's inevitable, we should just roll with it". They're surrendered. They're libs, they just don't know it yet. They're de facto libs. They wear their conservative t-shirts while endorsing liberal ideals. They're propping up obama's ideas, while shouting him down the whole time.
I'd like to see what other getbiggers think - Look around this country... remember the low population areas lean repubs (out west) and higher populated coastlines lean dem. Do you REALLY believe anywhere near 50.1% of the people in the USA are conservative?

Unlike you, I actually walk around much of the country, interact with people from all over the country, travel a lot, read, observe, and most importantly, don't just flat out make stuff up.

i guess we define conservative differently.
I don't see someone that supports amnesty as a conservative. They're a RINO. We're going to disagree on that one.

You can come with whatever simplistic definition you want.

our nation is moving more and more liberal. nobody can deny that. Debt is growing. obamacare is here. planet fitness is rampant. people are just plain softer by the day. To deny that is absurd. There are still pockets of awesomeness, but the majority of americans are just becoming lazier, weaker, whinier, and more liberal.
Now, this is because the majority of americans want it. That's why.
not because the majority of americans are conservative BUT since 2% of them watch msnbc, suddenly they turn into liberals. No, that's not it. People watching msnbc (most of them) are liberals already. Conseratives cannot stomach that channel.
Blaming liberal media for "tricking" the majority of nation (conservatives) to think, act, behave, and vote liberal? Sorry, ,that's a huge stretch and really insults their intelligence.
We live in a liberal country.
Conservatives are now a minority - less than 50%.
OBama won twice because over half the country are libs that wanted him in office.

Maybe most republicans smart enough to be journalists aren't gonna waste their time in a job that pays that poorly?

Sorry, but polls in which people have to SELF-identify don't carry that much weight.
"Liberal" has a negative connotation - whiny and dependent, thanks to the way FOX and its peons use it.
"Conservative" has a nice ring to it. People WANT to be conservative. BUT they don't act like it. They don't subscribe to the conservative beliefs. They act like libs and call themselves conservatives.
Look at the gebiggers here - many claim to be conservatives, but they're living liberal lifestyles, let's admit it. And they support many liberal causes, such as amnesty.
ABOVE ALL... look at the USA. We're borrowing $ nonstop. Both parties support it. Most people live like that too. Most people watch garbage and act like fools. Most people don't LIVE or ACT like conservatives. Ask president romney if the majority of voters are conservaitves lol. The proof is what you see on the street.
My only guess is that people who truly believe the majority of americans are conservative have 2 things in common. They don't know the definition of a conservative, and they mistakenly classify themselves as conservatives too. You know the type - they use drugs, they drive drink, they whore around, they support lib issues like amnesty, they don't bother to vote mccain or romnry... then when Gallup calls, they proudly announce they're conservatives lol.
I guess Romney called himself "severely conservative" too, huh?

look around you. TV is full of liberal ideal. the schools are moving left. Courts are moving left. National debt is skyrocketing. THis is because our COUNTRY is moving left, unfortunately. And it's not because there's more TV shows called "I'm a teen mom" than "duck dynasty" lol. It's because 51% of the people around you are libs. If you don't see it, sorry, but I think most getbiggers see it.
33, what say you? are 51% of the people in the USA liberal or conservatives?
