Media Bias
There has been much concern lately with the issue of media bias. Various commentators on the
left and
right alike have claimed that the media is biased towards the other side. The left's contention that the right controls the US media is based mainly upon the media's connections to big business and its support of free trade. And I agree that on economic issues the media consensus is pro-free trade, which can be seen as pro-right.
But in the end, the right is correct in its charge of bias.
Any discussion related to the "fundamental axiom of equality" - the proposition that all humans are genetically equal - falls strongly on the left's side of things. There isn't a newspaper around that questions that axiom publicly, when it reports on
issues like:
-crime (Does racial profiling work?)
-education (Is black academic performance due to white racism?)
-corporate policy (Is the
EEOC unfair?)
-foreign policy (Will aid to africa work?)
I could come up with more, but you already know that
a substantial portion of domestic policy is absolutely off limits to public discussion because it involves discussion of genetics. In this arena the left's lock on debate is absolute , and if you think about how much policy relates to these issues, you'll agree that the leftist view dominates the media.
