The Pew Research Center survey of journalists (see here for Juan’s original post on the subject) asked the following questions:
Q.9 Is there any daily national news organization that you think is especially liberal in its coverage of the news, or can’t you think of any?
Q.10 Is there any daily national news organization that you think is especially conservative in its coverage of the news, or can’t you think of any?
The order of the questions was randomly switched, to compensate for any bias that might flow from the order, so don’t worry about that.
The survey also asked the respondents to identify themselves as liberal, moderate, or conservative, and the Pew report broke down the answers to Q 9 and Q 10 by the respondents’ political self-identification.
My questions to you: Of the conservative journalists, how many could think of organizations with “especially liberal” coverage, and how many could think of organizations with “especially conservative” coverage? And of the liberal journalists, how many could think of organizations with “especially liberal” coverage, and how many could think of organizations with “especially conservative” coverage?
