As someone with a smattering of journalism training I can assure you
that this is one of the first things discussed in school. Objectivity
is a job skill in the journalistic profession. Story selection is way
more biased than individual reporters' work.

Well, possibly you had not been smattered by exposure to the real world
during and after your journalism training. Other than you there is not
a person I'm aware of that would claim that their writings are free
from bias. It just is not possible to be bias free in writing. It may
not be conscious, but it is there.

I say that is entirely wrong. A good reporter knows when he's
spinning and know when he's not. Objectivity is part of being a
professional. People who write slanted stories aren't real news
people.

It isn't a case if intentionally spinning, lying or whatever. If you
don't believe me then ask a reporter who has been in the business for a
whil. Ask if people carry their own biases and beliefs into their
work.....

But yet you can't give an example.

Is Brian Williams a Republican or a Democrat?

DaviD - The simple logic of it all is :

We are a Multi-Channel Information Society.
* Dozens of TV Stations plus Cable and Satellite TV
* Hundreds of Radio Stations plus Satellite Radio
* The Internet / WWW

People as Individuals can "Choose" what they want to Hear
and Listen to - By the Minute ! - By the Hour ! - By the Day !

1 - A Good Number of People "Choose" to Listen to Talk Radio.

2 - A Good Number of the People Who "Choose" to Listen
to Talk Radio and "Choose" to Listen to Conservative Talk Radio.

3 - Most People "Choose" to Listen to things that they Like and
are Comfortable with : Music, News, Sports and yes Talk Radio.

4 - Business Advertise with the Radio Programs that they feel
attract the largest number of Listeners who may want, need
and/or use their products and services.

5 - Successful Radio Programs Grow because of two Factors :
Listeners and Sponsors.

6 - Conservative Radio Programs have both a High Percentage
of Radio Listeners and Many Sponsors wanting to Advertise
their Products and Services with them.

7 - People "Choose" Conservative Talk Radio because to some
degree that is how deep inside them - that is how they 'feel'
about many things in their Lives and the way Life Ought To Be.
Feeling Are Facts [.]

DaviD - Why is 'Talk Radio' So Conservative ?
[ Because People Tune-In and Listen ! ]


Because the station owners make more money when the voters support
pro-business, anti little guy policies?

So,what's wrong with the station owners making some money? They have to
put food on the table and clothes on their kids and pay their bills too.
