Who's Biased and Who Isn't

From Newsbusters:
"It's not like we normal people aren't aware of this so show it to your lib friends. Duke University: not exactly the bastion of conservatism". MJH

In a study to be released next month, three Duke University researchers rank politicians and other public figures by political ideology as measured by a formula that incorporates whom they follow on Twitter, and who follows them. “The results dovetailed with ideological ranking systems based on the politicians’ voting records,” the New York Times reported on Monday.

If the study is accurate, it demonstrates just how liberal some of America’s most prominent journalists really are. Check below the break for some key findings concerning on the not-so-neutral news media.

According to the Duke study:

- NBC’s Chuck Todd and CBS’s Katie Couric are almost as far left as the Daily Kos,

- The Washington Post and MSNBC are more liberal than far-left blog Firedoglake,

- NBC’s Brian Williams and the Los Angeles Times are further left than Andrew Sullivan’s blog the Daily Dish,

- MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, a former Republican congressman, is significantly left of center.
