Media bias watch: Examples of liberal media bias. From the internet’s number one unbiased news source.
Liberal media bias refers to the accusation leveled at the media in western countries, most notably the United States of America and to a lesser extent the United Kingdom, that major media providers of news and current affairs have a consistent left-wing bias. In the United States accusations of liberal media bias have primarily come from the tea party, with politicians such as Sarah Palin lamenting the state of the ‘lamestream media’. In the United Kingdom right wing commentators have been complaining for decades that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has a left-wing bias.
