This is a good analysis. I’m often looking for something like this to help back my own intuition. Everyone sees the problem of media bias but it’s hard to define in more tangible terms. I appreciate the side by side of WSJ and NYT articles on the Canadian Truck Drivers - shows how subtle differences in reporting the same event skew left or right.

One way I’ve seen it couched is that the liberals have always owned the cultural high ground by having a preponderance of left-leaning, highly educated individuals in the ranks of the news media and in Hollywood - and that Fox News, Limbaugh, Bongino are an aggressive response to that.

When I talk to my own family members who skew right they talk pretty negatively about the media in general and particularly the NYT or WaPo - but they know and trust me. So I try to explain that many of the folks who work at these places are very similar to me (education, background, thinking) - and that they shouldn’t wholesale discount whatever they publish.
