BOOK REVIEW: WHAT LIBERAL MEDIA (2003) * * * (3 stars out of 4).
External link:
This book, by Eric Alterman does a great job of disproving the myth that the media has a liberal bias, and demonstrating that the U.S. media actually has a conservative, pro-corporate bias. However, the book disappoints when it starts to try to prove the objectivity of liberal points of view. Specifically, any statement by a media source that is critical of a liberal position is presented as evidence of conservative media bias. Any statement by a media source that is supportive of a liberal position is presented as evidence of the truth of the liberal view. But where the logic of the book is strongest and best presented is in its devastating refutation of the best-known arguments given in favor of the position that there is a liberal bias to the news, such as those presented by Anne Coulter or Bernard Goldberg.
