July 30th, 2011 3:09 PM

Earlier this week, NewsBusters managing editor Ken Shepherd had the opportunity to sit down with Tim Groseclose, a conservative political science professor from UCLA who's out with a new book about liberal media bias entitled "Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind."

In the interview, recorded on July 27, Groseclose explained how his research proves the media's liberal bias has a tendency to skew the electorate's perception of the political world, making all of us more liberal than we would be were it not for the media's liberal distortions.

Groseclose also spent considerable time talking about how the media distort news pertaining to the abortion debate, particularly partial-birth abortion and briefly addressed media distortions about tax rates on "the rich."
