Flying blind.

In fact, judged by the data I have seen, this strong left-wing media bias exists throughout most of the Western world, not just in the Scandinavian or Nordic countries. If this allegation is correct, this represents a major systemic problem for Western societies.

The mass media are the eyes and ears of modern societies. If they do not function properly, citizens will find it very hard to maneuver rationally and deal in a sensible manner with the challenges they face.[1]
They do not function properly because of the pathology of the left.

Fjordman's article recounts his disgraceful treatment by the leftist Norwegian media, in which ardent leftists and unrepentant communists play a significant role. Yet it is they who vilify Fjordman and do not have the integrity to publish a reply to their calumny.
