American Journalism Review

Two University of Chicago economists’ findings about the political slant of American newspapers are based on a linguistic version of "fuzzy math."

Interested in joining the liberal media elite?

Just publish a newspaper that writes about "family values," the "Republican Party" and "Vice President Cheney." It doesn't matter what you write on those subjects--mere mention is enough.

That's the gist of a recent study by two University of Chicago economists. Lauded in a New York Times column, it's also been cited on National Public Radio and is picking up steam in the blogosphere. All of the attention is coming even before the study has been published in an economics journal.
