This video is so bad and biased that when a bunch of my friends and I watched it we couldn't help but laugh the whole way through. How these idiot talking heads were able to make the claims they do with a straight face is totally beyond me. This is pure propaganda, complete with bold faced, capitalized words to drive home especially outrageous left-wing dogma. The fatuous arguments for the alleged right-wing bias in the media are too overwhelming to fully enumerate, so I'll just give some highlights:
-They argue that the two political parties are so similar (they actually superimpose an image of Dole over Clinton to drive this notion home to those who aren't able to understand without pictures -- their primary intended audience) and conservative that when the media covers them and their proposals, no matter whether it's a Republican or Democrat, they are biased to the right.
-They claim that the only reason there is a myth of the liberal media is because conservative CEO's and other "corporate elites" try to shift the argument away from the real issue, the conservative bias, by proposing an "opposite" argument -- that the media is too liberal. The irony of this (coming from a video that argues that the media isn't liberal -- that the proper argument is that it's too right-wing)) is too hilarious to miss.
-The evidence they offer that the advertisers control the content of the all the major media outlets (tv, magazine, newspaper) comes from 1985 when the "San Jose Chronicler" (something like that -- it was from San Jose) ran an article on how to buy used cars and the local car salesmen got angry. -They argue that "Even if 80% of the journalists in the media are liberal, this proves nothing." That even if "99% are liberal, this proves nothing" because "that would be like arguing that just because 90% of workers in a corporate factory are liberal assembly-line workers, the overall policy of the corporate company is liberal." If you think this analogy is valid, then this video is for you.
As I said, I could write a whole thesis on this thing. How this ever got shown in a class at an Ivy League college is amazing, but regardless, if you want a good laugh this is a better bet than any Adam Sandler or Robin Williams movie. And is almost as bad.
