Media has moved center to the left

by LostinLiberalLand

I believe the average American has become more liberal over the past 40 years and this has not happened due to any conscious choice on their part, but due to domination of the MSM (main stream media) CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, New York Times, Washington Post and every other big newspaper in this country.
The MSM is filled with journalists mostly educated at the elite liberal journalism schools where they all learned to look at the world through their liberal professor's eyes. The majority of them think alike and reinforce each others perceptions when they congregate at the water cooler, cocktail parties, and charity events. Their ideas are subliminally enforced through Hollywood movies and television shows. These elitists look at the rest of us as uneducated and not intelligent enough to think for ourselves. They believe it is their mission to enlighten us.
If you get all of your news from the MSM your view of the world is bound to move to the left and this will happen without you even realizing it.
To combat this I make the following suggestions: When in the car instead of listening to music turn on the AM dial and listen to anyone of a number of entertaining and conservative talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and many others. Instead of watching the news on one of the big three TV networks watch Britt Hume on Fox News or Glenn Beck on CNN. On Sundays don't buy your local paper or NYT, instead buy The Wall Street Journal. If you watch Sunday morning news shows skip past Tim Russert, Chris Mathews, George Stephanopolis and watch Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday instead.
Once you have been doing this for a few months think back and see if your view of the world has changed.
