My criticisms of the article are criticisms about interpreting fMRI evidence in general rather than these author's conclusions in particular.
you can't prove that the media has a ideological bias -- a "liberal media" -- by citing that people are neurologically partisan. It is fair to say that ideology and partisanship are correlated, but they are still different beasts.
People can environmentally conditioned to give into their biases, or they can be trained to suppress them. Take the average scientist.
