"Right wing media outlets, such as Fox News Network, Rush Limbaugh's show, and others have for years been openly biased, showing favoritism towards Republicans and hostility toward Democrats.


Those media outlets and the Republicans have convinced their viewers, readers, and voters that almost all other news outlets are “liberal, left wing” organizations.
But until recent months and years, most of the media (other than right wing media) was not biased at all, outside their editorial pages and in clearly identified opinion pieces.


Unlike right wing media, other news agencies followed the standards taught in journalism schools, which was to report the news in an unbiased manner by explaining both the pros and cons of a given situation and interviewing people who represent all the opposing sides and viewpoints of any controversial issue. If a Democrat was asked to give a viewpoint, a Republican was also asked to give his or her viewpoint. Words that have “loaded” meanings were avoided in both the headlines and the content of the story, to further avoid bias.


Despite the commonly repeated label of “liberal media,” that right wingers toss around so frequently, there was traditionally almost no such thing as “liberal media” among the major networks, newspapers, and news magazines. But biased “right wing media” has existed for two decades or longer.


Unfortunately, in the past few years some of the previously unbiased media has begun using the tactics of Fox and the other right wingers, which means they sometimes slip the reporters' opinions into “hard news” stories and don't always try to cover all sides and opinions concerning controversial stories. But most still label pure opinion pieces as being “opinions,” which is something Fox and other right wing media don’t always do."
