There have been many, many reports on media bias, and all have their own bias. In the end, I think the economic theories of media bias make the most sense.
You do realize the study we are arguing about was published in the The Quarterly Journal of Economics? Not really to the point, but it made me chuckle.
I have stated my case for the above study. It is simply the best study I have ever seen on the subject. Cite other peer reviewed studies and I'll be happy to look them over. The study itself answers most of the questions/concerns you have posed and since you have read it in great detail I have no need to repeat them here.
Sry to hijack the thread... promise to stay on topic.

Didn't say I read it in detail. It's pretty dull. Not to beat a dead horse, but no, the study does not answer any of my concerns. It doesn't answer the very basic premise of why their conclusion is valid. If their conclusion were "many media sources cite to the same think tanks as congressional members who are deemed liberal," then I would say it's a valid report.
If you are really interested, I could start another thread on media bias studies, but I think we highjacked this thread enough.
