And how many people who watch Fox, work for Fox or who are ON Fox who say they are GOP doesn't define "how conservative" Fox reports the news. It doesn't determine the slant. The content, the writing and the attitude determines that. Thats a very subjective thing. Take Finebaum for instance. Tennessee Alum, has Barners on his show, has Barners call into his show....but anyone in their right mind knows that show isn't right down the middle. Its subjective.
Something that is subjective takes place in a person's mind and is modified by the person's bias or perspective. The identification of the taste of ice cream as good or bad is subjective. The judgment of a piece of art is subjective. Finebaum's statements that he is an Alabama fan are not subjective. Sure, the reasons for his affinity of the team are subjective beliefs, but identifying him as an Alabama fan based upon his statements is not subjective.
Similarly, the fact that a journalist has publicly acknowledged being Republican is objective. Why he is a Republican may not be objective, but the study did not deal with people's subjective beliefs as to why they were Republicans; it merely counted the number of people who identified themselves as Republican. Additionally, you can objectively quantify how many times journalists insert their own opinions. When you have a Republican journalist making opinions, and when the majority of viewers are Republican, it's fairly obvious that there is a Republican slant. Unless, of course, you're suggesting that Republicans have chosen to watch a news station that has no slant, and only Democrats are guilty of watching news stations with Democratic slants.
The kid in you still thinks everything is tangible and its not.
The fact that I name off quantifiable things from one study does not mean that I think everything is tangible.
And I really really want you to engage Kaos in a debate on content and writing...please.....I want to see this....
Given the fact that we are discussing the value of studies, and in particular three specific studies to which I cited, I'm not sure that such a discussion would be relevant. Regardless, I'm not sure why you want so badly to see this.
