Things That Piss Conservatives Off: "Liberal Media Bias": Liberalism as Progressivism
First off, let's cut through the bullshit and ask ourselves, "Does American media have a liberal bias?" The best answer for this is that it is the media's RESPONSIBILITY to have liberal bias, or alternately, that liberal bias is inherent to the concept of media. What does this mean? Again, cutting through the bullshit that is the pigeonholing popular political process of the Western World, we discover that, at the very heart of conservatism, is the preservation of the status quo. Unfortunately, the status quo proves itself to be incredibly amorphous as a result of the phenomenon known as Stuff Happening. Stuff Happens... we see this every day. When Stuff Happens, to the chagrin of "conservatives", Things Change. What THIS means is that the media panders directly to the anti-conservative ideal of Change through the acknowledgment and purportion of Stuff Happening, because it is that which challenges the status quo that is newsworthy.
There is a lot more that can be said on this subject to clarify my point, however, I do not feel like expounding right now. This type of rant is an outlet for the socially ostracizing practice of logic and rationalism, and I have had my fix for now.
