Yesterday we looked at conservative news bias, whilst today we'll look that the other end of the bias spectrum: liberal news bias. Please go to The Daily Show for September 15, 2011 (http://www.thedailyshow.com/ ). It's 21 minutes. Make sure you get the complete show. If you have a problem, type in The Daily Show September 15, 2011 full episode. Pause as you go through to answer the accompanying questions. Heads up, this is raw stuff, written for mature audiences. Please take into account its satirical content, much in an 18th century tradition. If you have difficulities, see me. I do not want you to feel uncomfortable.
