Liberal media

Liberal media is media which has an editorial policy which supports capitalism in a sustainable form absent extremes of exploitation. The New York Times is the archetypical example of this type of media. The best of the liberal media is generally fact-based and progressive; however, the underlying theme is that capitalism is the path to wealth, progress, and freedom.

Coverage of socialist and communist political tendencies tends to focus on the virtues of rightist tendencies which, according to the liberal view, are reforms which lead to economic development and to "democracy", by which representative democracy is usually meant.
