Several times I have heard Thom have someone on from the CNS, Cybercast News Service. Thom does not seem to be aware of who they are, but I must say I tune out when they are on. Maybe he does know, and I did not realize it. CNS is a part of the MRC formed by Brent Bozell. I guess I have a problem with their being given air time on our left leaning media. They were never fair with us like this, nor will they be.
From their site:
http://www.cnsnews.com/"Study after study by the Media Research Center, the parent organization of CNSNews.com, clearly demonstrate a liberal bias in many news outlets – bias by commission and bias by omission – that results in a frequent double-standard in editorial decisions on what constitutes "news."
In response to these shortcomings, MRC Chairman L. Brent Bozell III founded CNSNews.com in an effort to provide an alternative news source that would cover stories that are subject to the bias of omission and report on other news subject to bias by commission."
And here is the About page from the Media Research center.
http://www.mediaresearch.org/about/aboutwelcome.asp"The mission of the Media Research Center is to bring balance to the news media. Leaders of America's conservative movement have long believed that within the national news media a strident liberal bias existed that influenced the public's understanding of critical issues. On October 1, 1987, a group of young determined conservatives set out to not only prove — through sound scientific research — that liberal bias in the media does exist and undermines traditional American values, but also to neutralize its impact on the American political scene. What they launched that fall is the now acclaimed — Media Research Center (MRC)."
"The MRC, headquartered in Alexandria, VA, began modestly with a handful of employees, a black and white TV, and a rented computer. The first order of business was to organize a research operation second to none. For years, conservatives could only present the anecdotal evidence of liberal journalists' bias — a question in this interview, a statement in that report. However, anecdotal examples of bias do not prove a liberal agenda. Only through thorough, comprehensive, and ongoing analysis based on quantitative and qualitative research can one document liberal bias in the media.
That moved
MRC founder and president, L. Brent Bozell III, to take the necessary steps to develop the MRC's News Tracking System (NTS), a custom-designed computer database and archiving system that today provides the conservative movement's now-thriving media personalities and the public alike, with the evidence necessary to confront the liberal media."
