“There might be something to be said for protecting the political clout exercised by today’s media elite if those wielding it constituted even an approximate cross-section of the political opinions now contending for influence in the American society. The media’s defenders, in fact, often assert that they do; but in actuality nothing could be further from the truth. The dominant media in the United States, as the foregoing pages of this book have clearly shown, are today, with negligible exceptions, passionate allies of the liberal forces in American politics.”
