Conservative bias

From RationalWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Conservative bias is the tendency in the conservative mindset to ignore criticism of and inherent problems with conservatism, and to exaggerate perceived problems with rival views. In reality, replace "conservative" with any political, philosophical, scientific or religious ideology and you'll probably find that it's true.

[edit] Conservative bias in the media

In the USA, most talk radio stations take a conservative tone, Rush Limbaugh being a big name in the medium. Most of these stations are in denial that conservative talk radio is actually in the majority.

In Britain and America, nearly all newspapers are owned by capitalists such as Rupert Murdoch, with the inevitable consequence that they have an editorial bias towards the right wing.

Fox News is of course completely biased (any place considering itself "fair and balanced" should be regarded with suspicion), and was implicated in the fraudulent "selection" of George W. Bush in 2000.[1]
