Still, it gives a good indication - the Washington Post has a liberal bias, Fox-news does not. 
Haven't read the whole thing, a bit too dry... |
Over the the last 20 years there has been a substantial increase in
advocacy journalism.
This is intentionally biased news, and presentation of events of the world from a biased prespective.
All advocacy journalism is bad, IMO. It doesn't matter from which bias or bent it's coming from.
One note about "think tanks." Think are actually
Advocacy Groups.
This started in large part from the
American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and the
Heritage Foundation.
Now there are dozens and dozens.
Most notable and notorious of late is the PNAC.
