Driving Directions
It has long been an article of anecdotal faith on the right that most of the media lean left. Thanks to the methodologically rigorous research of political scientist Tim Groseclose, it's now also a matter of empirically and quantitatively documented fact.
In his new book Left Turn, Professor Groseclose argues that the notorious mainstream media do indeed have a liberal bias overall. He also acknowledges that some outlets such as the Washington Times and Fox News Special Report do indeed have a conservative one. Yet critically, he shows how the conservative proclivities of the latter are less pervasive and severe than the liberal proclivities of the former and how the skewed mix truly does distort how Americans think about key issues - and consequently vote.
Dr. Groseclose is the Marvin Hoffenberg Professor of American Politics at UCLA. He also has taught at Caltech, Stanford, and Harvard.
(Editor's note: If Professor Groseclose had had a chance to investigate how Center of the American Experiment has fared in the media over the years, he doubtless would have found how we have been treated fairly, for which we are grateful.)
