UCLA/Prager Univ. course now proves liberal bias in media

[Melensdad]

You can now take a class at UCLA's Prager University that proves there is a liberal bias in the media and also quantifies the results.

Short YouTube Video:

I found it pretty interesting to watch the video and hear the conclusions, but I'd like to hear the substance that underlies the assumptions. Maybe I need to take the class.

I took the test mentioned in the video ......... Bottom of the page, redirect won't let me link directly to the test!

Are you a Liberal

You’re a conservative with perhaps a couple of liberal views.

It gave me the same result.

I answered disagree to every question to see if it would say I'm a liberal with conservative leanings. It said I'm a conservative.

According to the way I answered it claimed I was a LEFTIST WITH LIBERAL TENDANCIES.

I answered that I agreed with most of the questions but I did bother to answer a few of them honestly.

I started to take the test, but I don't think it's anywhere close to a good test.

Almost all of the questions are along the lines of "When did you stop beating your wife?"

Anyone who answers "Agree" to all of those questions, I wouldn't classify as a liberal, but instead I would call them a "radical" or perhaps even an "anarchist".

Didn't you read in the other thread that anarchists are Conservatives? C'mon man, you gotta keep up...

CityGirl is trying to edjamakate us poor ignorant slobs.

Dave, agreed. I think that is the point of the test. To see the degree to which people are willing to agree/disagree. The questions are pretty Black/White.
