Lydia Miljan and Barry Cooper are both professors of Political Science. They teach at the University of Windsor and the University of Calgary, respectively.

Hidden Agendas lays out the pervasive liberal-left bias in most big-city newsrooms. It should be a wake-up call for reporters and editors who believe themselves to be objective, but aren't. - Lorne Gunter (National Post) Hidden Agendas breaks new ground and expands our understanding of Canada's media. But be forewarned: Whatever your preconceptions about who's right, who's left and who's wrong, this little book is full of surprises. - Terence Corcoran, editor-in-chief (Financial Post) With care and skill, Miljan and Cooper subject the poisonous debate over media bias to a healthy dose of scientific analysis. All future debate over the media will have to take their research into account. This book shows that bias isn't just in the eye of the beholder. It's also in the eyes of journalists, to whom we're all beholden for our image of reality. - Bob Lichter, president, Center for Media and Public Affairs, Washington, DC, and author of The Media Elite: America's New Powerbrokers
