You cannot remove the biases easily. Those biases are instilled before they reach the media.
Example: Dan Rather has always been a liberal...even before his journalistic climb to the top.
Now he has huge power at CBS and his slant has been documented numerous times. I honestly
think he doesn't even realize it. "THE DAN" as the ones who have crossed him at CBS call him,
has let his lifelong views slant his output of journalism. Journalists are NOT suppose to inject
personal feelings into their stories. Just the facts maam...is what they are suppose to tell.
THE DAN also has power to control what other journalists show. Many a reporter has been let
go from not seeing eye to eye with THE DAN and the upper floors of CBS. It happens all the time
for all the networks.
If you want to read a good book (and it's not very long) buy the best selling book by one time
big journalist Bernard Goldberg (formerly of the Washinton Beauru of CBS and 60 Minutes) called
Bias in the Media. Goldberg is a well known Democrat (so this isn't a conservative bash the liberals book).
He is STILL a Democrat...always will be he says, but he noticed the slant to the Left a number of years
ago which finally prompted him to write an OP ED piece for the Wall Street Journal telling the tale. He got MAJORLY
ostrisized by CBS and THE DAN and finally had to leave. He notes tons of examples of the slant and
pretty much cut his own career throat. Now, when I watch the news, I see much of this slant and how
easily it just comes out of their mouths...like it was something they were born to do.
If you don't think the media is flooded with anti-conservative, anti-men, anti-straight, anti-white slants...
read this book and check his examples given. It makes one pretty angry to see this propaganda machine
running full steam. This book also made me think that it's not a dirty sin to be a successful, straight, white male as
is painted many times.
