The "liberal media" meme


Jay Rosen writes about the increasinly strangeness of the Republicans' devout faith that "the media" is unrelentingly Democratic and liberal in Yahoos Within the GOP Coalition Challenged on their Media Think Huffington Post 12/29/07.

Rosen writes that:

... the notion that reporters are both liberal and ideologically driven is part of the political religion of your new GOP: a common grievance, which, when joined with other grievances similarly shaped, forms a flexible politics of resentment that candidates can tap.

It's "medium is" and "media are," not "media is." Of course, surveys have shown that approximately 90% of media wags are in fact liberal. It's not a mistaken Republican notion. It is a known fact. Wrong, Brucie.
