Mika Brzezinski: I’ve worked in the mainstream media for all the networks and I will say what people aren’t saying. It’s got a liberal world view. There are great people working at the networks, and they’re mostly Democrats, ok? They try really hard to be objective, really hard and they do a great job at it, but the balance is not there within the objective mainstream media. It’s not, It is not and I’m not sure how we fix that.

Julie Menin: But do you think then that on the broadcast news that those personal views are seeping into the news coverage?
Mika Brzezinski: Of course they are which is why we have got to be honest.
Julie Menin: And you think that by disclosing the party affiliation…
Mika Brzezinski: We can’t sanitize it. We can’t say this reporter has somehow, you know, taken a bath in alcohol, rubbing alcohol and therefore the news is clean. No. Every reporter, every anchor, every human being that is a personality on television has opinions, and has a world view, and has a slant. You know I think what we have to do is know that the viewer is smart about that and if you are fair and you are looking for the truth you can be trusted and you’ve got to be honest.
Forget everything else.. those two lines alone tell you all you need to know!
