ABSTRACT
The author discusses news report that most write-ups are biased citing the 2008 presidential election wherein Mark Halperin of "Time Magazine" said that in the media coverage U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was preferred. He says that news reports always veer to the left because people promote social justice as one sees it and professions are but promotions of that social justice as viewed by the reporter. The author says that this leaning towards the left has its beginnings in the medieval times when religion ruled all opinions.
