Matt Philbin, the managing editor of the Media Research Center's Culture and Media Institute, recently wrote a pretty sarcastic article that highlighted all the conservative issues that the media 'conveniently neglected' to cover during the election. Philbin's opinion definitely skews right, as can be seen by the below quote, but the article also brings up some interesting points.
Well, my media friends, congratulations. You did it again. Your guy is
safely re-elected. And the victory must be all the sweeter since you
unexpectedly had to work for it.
Philbin highlights how the "Fast and the Furious" scandal (Homeland Security let Mexican drug gangsters buy lots of guns and then
forgot to track them until one killed a U.S. Border Patrol agent) got minimal coverage. Also how much money and resources have gone into green energy venues over the past several years, without substantial results.
While I dont agree with all of Philbin's sentiment regarding the media, the article definitely provides some intriguing reading and food for thought on whether the media intentionally or unintentionally skews to the left.
