While this book was already 8 years old by the time I read it, its conclusions are all the more apparent. If you ever suspected that the modern American news media are slightly biased towards the left, you're wrong... it's STRONGLY biased towards the left.

An absolute must-read for any American citizen who truly desires to break free of their echo chamber and seek even a marginally balanced approach to their news media consumption.
