Book Synopsis


Trade Review
This careful study is one of a handful that truly takes an 'unbiased' empirical approach to measuring bias in national news outlets. It persuasively refutes simplistic accusations of journalistic bias and points the way toward greater understanding of the media's role in shaping public opinion. -- Robert Entman, Shapiro Professor of Media and Public and International Affairs, The George Washington University
