The Half-Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

A reader send this post analyzing the news coverage between 1996 and 2004. Economic recoveries were similar in number of jobs created and unemployment rates. News stories were positive about the economy in 1996 (Clinton years) and negative in 2004. Not to mention the total news blackout on the economic recovery beginning at the end of Bush I's presidency and the beginning of the stock market drop and recession during the end of Big Bill's presidency. The only way you can consider the media conservative is if you are a far left radical--then I guess they are to your right. I am glad to see some data. The usual argument is "The media lean left!" "No they don't." And that's it.

Here's an analogy for you. Who is the best person to ask about racism: a white middle class person or an african american or hispanic? So why would you NOT ask a conservative about anti-conservative bias in the news?
