by Rich Shumate (Author)
This book explores the perception of liberal news bias by examining conservatives' reactions to coverage of Barry Goldwater's presidential campaign in 1964 and posits that, to maintain social identity, conservatives rejected content from news media outlets that was incongruous with their worldview by deeming it hostile and, by extension, liberal.
