angledgeNoam Chomsky is a professor at MIT and a progressive political commentator. In his book Interventions, he said:
"...the opinion pages of daily newspapers are yet another corner of the corporate media universe where right-wing voices dominate, and the general debate extends from the far-right to the center, occasional exceptions notwithstanding."
David Kuo was the second-in-command at the White House Office of Faith-Based Initiatives. In his book Tempting Faith: An Inside Story of Political Seduction, he said:
"The mainstream media takes a lot of flack, some deserved, for being liberally biased. But that's nothing compared to its antireligious bias. Most reporters continue to think that evangelical Christians are from another planet and most couldn't name one as a friend or acquaintance. A few years ago, a New York Times reporter commented on President George W. Bush's use of the phrase 'people should take the log out of their own eye before taking the speck out of their neighbor's eye.' He said it was an odd version of the pot calling the kettle black. It was a reference to Jesus' Sermon on the Mount, arguably the most famous speech in history."
