The WSJ asks "Is the Media Favoring the Rich?"

Well, duh. Since our media maestros (example: David Gregory) make 7 figures they can't exactly be trusted with looking out for the unwashed masses (that being you and me).
But an article from Extra!, produced by Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), suggests the media may actually be biased in favor of the wealthy when it comes to describing the class war.

A FAIR survey showed that within top media outlets, the term “class warfare” was used almost exclusively to describe an attack of the nonrich against the rich. The group says “class war” should more accurately be described as a battle between two sides — one which the rich have been winning for years.
