Liberal Media Bias. What’s the motive?

Okay, we all watch enough cop shows to know that without a motive, there’s no case. So why is it that the Right Wing Echo ChamberTM gets away with calling, oh, let’s say NBC biased to the left? What possible motive could General Electric, parent of NBC and paragon of all that’s free market capitalism, have to lean left? Did Jeffrey Immelt leave a commune to run the conglomerate? Before him, does anyone really think Jack Welch had a liberal bias? What possible fucking evidence is there for such a nitwit conclusion that apparently 20-25% of the nation has taken to heart? GE exists for one thing and one thing only. Profits. That and number one or two position in an industry, but no-fucking-where is there anything to motivate a liberal bias. To the contrary, one would expect the opposite.

Ever hear an interview with Ted Turner? Other than marrying (briefly) Jane Fonda, there isn’t a liberal bone in his body. Yes the Right gets away with calling CNN the “Clinton News Network”. Huh? No motive, no case.

As Steve Colbert so wondrously put it, “The truth has a known liberal bias.”
