Press Bias and Politics

Více o knize

The book explores the impact of printed and broadcast media on political discourse, particularly regarding controversial topics like race and homosexuality. By analyzing over 800 press reports from 116 newspapers, it reveals a significant liberal bias in mainstream journalism. This bias is argued to undermine democracy by marginalizing non-mainstream left views and demonizing moderate and right-leaning perspectives, ultimately promoting a limited spectrum of liberal thought in public discourse.
