"Carter v. the Media" with A.J. Bauer

Today, there is a widespread belief that news media have an inherent bias toward liberal points of view. On this episode of Recollecting Carter, I talk with Dr. A. J. Bauer about research for his forthcoming book Making the Liberal Media. Interestingly, Bauer has found that much of the way we remember Carter's presidency today is connected with the rise of conservative talk radio in the 1980s and the vested interest that figures like Rush Limbaugh had in denigrating Carter to build their audience.
