Eric Alterman
What Liberal Media? confronts the question of liberal bias and provides a sharp and utterly convincing assessment of the realities of political bias in the news. In distinct contrast to the conclusions reached by Ann Coulter, Bernard Goldberg, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly, Alterman finds the media to be far more conservative than liberal. The fact that conservatives howl so much louder and more effectively than liberals is one big reason that big media is always on its guard for "liberal" bias but gives conservative bias a free pass.
After listening to What Liberal Media? you will understand that the real news story of recent years is not whether this newspaper, or that news anchor, is biased but rather what extent the entire news industry is organized to communicate conservative views and push our politics to the right - regardless of how "liberal" any given reporter may be.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"A sobering reminder that TV long ago abandoned serious journalism and that watchdogs and skeptics are thin on the ground in all media - bad news for those who believe a vibrant, informative press is one of the bedrocks of democracy." (Kirkus Reviews)
"Whatever your politics, Alterman delivers well-documented, well-argued research in compulsively readable form. This book will be required reading for anyone in politics or journalism, or anyone curious about their complicated nexus." (Publishers Weekly)
"Eric Alterman...has jumped into the ring and taken off his gloves. (The New York Times)

The media has long been chastised by the well-funded conserative groups. The consistency and volume of their complaints has made the farse of "liberal bias" in the media a matter of common sense. Eric Alterman systematically looks at all aspects of the media news: radio, TV, newspapers, magazines; and systematically disproved the notion of liberal bias. In fact he demonstrated just the oppoposite, that the media has become so afraid of the allegation, that conservative bias has become mainstream.
As evidence, the Bush administration routinely gets away with things that would have hammered his predecesssor, Clinton. Reporters cannot even grill the administration on sensitive issues, for fear of being thrown out of exclusive press conferences. And name one nationally syndicated liberal pundit on radio.
The situation is so severe, that we can no longer have an intelligent, balanced public debate on important issues. Criticism of administration policy has become synonymous with being unpatriotic, or worse, a traitor. Fortunately, the Bush administration's grip on public debate cannot last forever. But whether democracy ever recovers remains to be seen.
