Moron:

Michael Kelly proves that the "liberal media" was, and is, alive and well. He cites results from Lichter's Center for Media and Public Affairs. We decided to do some exceptionally hard work and type:

Lichter's Center for Media and Public Affairs

into Google, and go to the very first link displayed. In it, we read the following:

CMPA President Robert Lichter concludes ... that election journalism doesn't reward or reflect ideology or even previous achievements ... Rather, it rewards campaigning skills.

Kelly cherry-picks number to make his case, and avoids the conclusions of those who immerse themselves in media studies.*

What a hack.

UPDATE: TBogg has more on this issue, and points out the Lichter isn't necessarily the objective fellow Kelly would like you to believe.
