B-Man Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Study: Most Journalists Are To The Left Of Bernie Sanders (But Don’t Worry They’re Totally Fair) An academic study by a trio of professors claims to have proven there is no such thing as media bias despite the fact that the same study found most journalists are much father left than the average Twitter user. In fact, a majority of journalists, based on their Twitter interactions, are somewhere to the left of Bernie Sanders. From the study: Figure 2 shows the distribution of ideological positions of journalists based on their Twitter interactions. As can be seen, journalists are dominantly liberal and often fall far to the left of Americans. A full 78.1% of journalists are more liberal than the average Twitter user. Moreover, 66% are even more liberal than former President Obama, 62.3% are to the left of the median Senate Democrat (in the 114th Congress), and a full 14.5% are more liberal than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (one of the most liberal members of the House). In short, journalists are overwhelmingly liberal/Democrats and many journalists appear to be far to the left of the average American. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a small argument with Alan Pergament on twitter a year or two ago...........He was saying his usual thing about how sportswriters, announcers, etc. shouldn't be showing any rooting interest. And, I asked him then why is it OK that journalists can show their bias all day long regarding politics on twitter? Yeah, that's OK, but if a writer shows any fan interest in a relatively meaningless game, then that's the worst ethics ever! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He ushered in the new term Yellow Journalism. Reward lairs with a prize named after a liar. Tom Hamburger.

BillsFanNC Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I'm sure there are a few honest, real reporters out there still, but in 2020 I'm not sure how anyone can take any reporting at face value no matter what the outlet. Fake news abounds everywhere and from all sides unfortunately. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
