Liberal Media Bias, Surprising To Whom?

While the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal is conservative, the newspaper’s news pages are liberal, even more liberal than The New York Times. The Drudge Report may have a right-wing reputation, but it leans left. Coverage by public television and radio is conservative compared to the rest of the mainstream media. Meanwhile, almost all major media outlets tilt to the left.
These are just a few of the surprising findings from a UCLA-led study, which is believed to be the first successful attempt at objectively quantifying bias in a range of media outlets and ranking them accordingly. (emphasis added)
I want to know who finds this surprising. Have people had their heads stuck so far up a smelly place that they failed to recognize the obvious media bias? Did not the CBS phony document fiasco and the pro-Kerry, anti-Bush reporting during the election make it blatantly obvious?
I am glad they did this study because there are still those who think the media is not biased, or more laughably, biased to the right. I guess now they will need a study to surprise us with the fact that most of Hollywood is full of liberals….
