- Actually, It is widely accepted that the national media tends to lean toward
- the left, and local media tends to lean toward the right (on the average).
-
- Since most americans get their news (local & national & international) from the
- local channels, it stands to reason that the majority of what americans hear is
- slightly biased to the right.
-
- I would not consider either local or national media to be very far to the left or
- the right on the average. There are special exceptions.
