Study shows strong liberal bias in the media

A recent study shows that 18 of 20 major media outlets studied scored left of center on the political spectrum. Of those, the most liberal were the Wall Street Journal, CBS Evening News, New York Times, and LA Times. The two programs deemed conservative were Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume and the Washington Times.
The most centrist outlet proved to be the "NewsHour With Jim Lehrer." CNN's "NewsNight With Aaron Brown" and ABC's "Good Morning America" were a close second and third. "Our estimates for these outlets, we feel, give particular credibility to our efforts, as three of the four moderators for the 2004 presidential and vice-presidential debates came from these three news outlets — Jim Lehrer, Charlie Gibson and Gwen Ifill,"
Another interesting find is that the fourth most centrist outlet was "Special Report With Brit Hume" on Fox News. This program is often cited by liberals as an example of a right-wing outlet. Yes, it does have a conservative bias, but not nearly as much as many media outlets are left wing biased.
