So is DimpledChad going to be pro-O'Malley or anti-Hillary? I could have sworn he said he liked Hillary but simply preferred O'Malley more.
You can't deny the media are less favorable towards Hillary than they were towards Obama '08, for instance. Sure, the media re made up of individuals, but so are all group of people. Saudi Arabia is a country made up of individuals, yet would it be unreasonable to characterize Saudi Arabia as a "conservative society"? I don't think so. Yes, there are liberal, progressive people in Saudi Arabia. And the conservatism of Saudi Arabia exists in individuals, not in the actual sand or trees or buildings in that country. Yet it is still meaningful to talk about the country as a whole as "conservative", and it doesn't deny any of those things. There is no conspiracy. Everything is quite out in the open. Don't take my word for it, listen to the analysis published by the media itself:
http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/05/the-medias-real-role-in-206766.htmlThere are many, many more articles where that came from, spanning years. In fact, according to Byers, the media's negativity towards Clinton is the main barrier to her election.
And for the record, conservatives who argue that certain media outlets are biased against them have a point, too. You don't have to be an actual conservative to see a basic truth. When's the last time the New York Times endorsed a Republican candidate in a general election? What about the Washington Post? Even if you agree with these newspapers' endorsements (and I do), you cannot deny that from a national conservative's standpoint, they have rarely been friendly to them.
