Kuypers charts the potential effects the printed presses and
broadcast media have upon the messages of political and social
leaders when they discuss controversial issues. Examining over 800
press reports on race and homosexuality from 116 different
newspapers, Kuypers meticulously documents a liberal political bias
in mainstream news. This book asserts that such a bias hurts the
democratic process by ignoring non-mainstream left positions and
vilifying many moderate and most right-leaning positions, leaving
only a narrow brand of liberal thought supported by the mainstream
press. This book argues that the mainstream press in America is an
anti-democratic institution. By comparatively analyzing press
reports, as well as the events that occasioned the coverage,
Kuypers paints a detailed picture of the politics of the American
press. He advances four distinct reportorial practices that inject
bias into reporting, offering perspectives of particular interest
to scholars, students, and others involved with mass communication,
journalism, and politics in the United States.
