CBS Behind Slew of Anti-Choice Billboards in Georgia For the past month, reproductive justice groups in Atlanta, Georgia have been fighting against an anti-choice campaign by Georgia Right to Life and a group called the Radiance Foundation. The two groups have collaborated to buy billboard space throughout the city calling black children “an endangered species,” and advocating for laws to limit the reproductive choices of women of color, as well as to push for laws banning abortion based on “the race or the sex of the child.”
Now it turns out that the billboards are the property of CBS Outdoors, a subsidiary of the multi-media CBS corporation. The link The Wrong Wing has done a good job of spinning the myth of the "mainstream liberal media bias". It is not nor has it ever been true.

Well then, I guess it's true that "Truth has a liberal bias".

How do you explain the press' treatment of liberal stalwarts such as Michael Dukakis, John Kerry, Bill Clinton, and Al Gore?
People turn on people. Been that way since Cain and Abel. The studies found a liberal bias in the majority of reporting overall. The studies didn't conclude that every single media outlet/person in every single piece of reporting favored the left.

Interesting. During the bi-partisan summit last week, CNN went to commercials only when Democrats were speaking, often missing the entire statement of a Democrat. Never went to breaks when Republicans were speaking. Clearly designed to favor the statements of Republicans and get their message out over those of Democrats. Just one example proving your "every single piece of reporting favored the left" is hyperbole. Always and never statements are usually wrong.

The Democrats are not seen as pro=business. I am not saying that to be critical because some businesses need a strong leash. Even liberal media outlets are businesses. I doubt that any of them are going to pay less for health care for their people if this thing becomes law.
Expect no help is what I am saying. The wallet votes and the wallet influences news.

Expect no help is what I am saying. The wallet votes and the wallet influences news. I think Democrats have learned to "expect no help" from the media. And your knowledge of the wallet, is the basis for the title, "Liberal Media Bias, my ass!" The days of an independent news division, if they ever existed, are long gone.

You're wrong about that. Studies conducted by UCLA, Dartmouth, and the ASNE have confirmed a liberal media bias.
About the UCLA study: The authors have previously received funding from the three premier conservative think tanks in the United States: the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research (AEI), The Heritage Foundation, and the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace.The ASNE study didn't find "liberal bias," it just found that most people think newspapers are "biased and ethically compromised" either to the right or left--depending on how each respondent self-identified. Conservatives tended to think their newspaper was more liberal, and liberals that their newspapers were more conservative. Don't know enough about the other guy but I would guess it's a telling sign that he no longer teaches at Dartmouth and is now at a school in Virginia (where Newt Gingrich is considered a liberal).
