There comes a time for the debunking of myths. Here, now, is such a time. Among the most persistent myths is that the mainstream American media is biased towards liberalism. This is utterly untrue. The American mainstream media has but one bias; towards profit, and to this end, will program whatever it takes.
Some networks are more liberal than others, some are more conservative. For instance, the FOX network, though it calls itself "fair and balanced", is far from "balanced". Its conservative. Its fair, because there's nothing unfair about being conservative, but it is most certainly not "balanced". The mere fact that FOX calls itself "fair and balanced" shows that they don't want to be seen as conservative, but rather, as all things to all people, as middle of the road.
For the most part most networks are as dead center as they can possibly get, because this is where the profit is.
In the next installment we shall debunk the widely propagated myth that the United States of America is a republic, rather than an empire. You won't wanna miss it!
