Hi Ant, Platt, and all,
Change of subject here, because I don't want to drown a perfectly
good thread, Understanding Power, with a torrent of Holden
Circularity. I also don't want Sam to be discouraged (and dizzy)
when he tries to catch up, after his vacation.

Instead of a response, we get The Holden Circularity:
How about providing some evidence that the media doesn't have a
liberal bias?
msh says:
How does one prove a negative? You're the one making a positive
claim, that the media are biased, that they follow a "liberal" or
anti-Bush agenda. As evidence, you've referred us to Goldberg's
book. Ant McWatt beat me to it, and provided some good evidence
refuting Goldberg's one testable assertion, that the media identify
(label) people as "conservative" far more than they identify liberals
as "liberal," thus supposedly suggesting that conservatives are out
of the mainstream, on the fringe, way out there and whacky.
What is your response to Ant's refutation of this?
If you can't or won't respond to this, I repeat, can you at least
provide a specific report that supports your opinion, one with
verifiable references, and maybe even include a little analysis of
your own? If you provide a specific report, with references, and
comments of your own, I'll be happy to provide an analysis.
Thanks,
Mark Steven Heyman (msh)
