Bill Maxwell, in his St Petersburg Times column, uses a Clinton supporter's analysis to try to make an objective case for anti-Clinton media bias. He fails miserably, on both the case and the objectivity, as he is duped by a flawed analysis. The evidence that Maxwell presents may point to some problems with how the media performs its function, but it doesn't show anti-Clinton bias.
Media tainted by anti-Clinton bias
For a brief period last week, earnest members of my chosen profession, the press, did a little soul-searching and asked if we have been, and are, biased against Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton.
The conclusion: Of course we are. Any journalist who denies this fact is unable to recognize objectivity if it were branded on his eyeballs.
