Gasper (2011) shows that the estimates are sensitive to the time period under examination and that removing a single think tank shifts estimates dramatically. Additionally, the estimates of media bias do not comport with more direct measures of media bias derived from computational text analysis or sometimes face validity.

In 2005, Groseclose co-authored an article with Jeffrey Milyo, a professor of economics at the University of Missouri, in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, entitled "A Measure of Media Bias". The article suggested the American media had a liberal bias. Drawing upon this article, Groseclose published "Left Turn: How Liberal Media Bias Distorts the American Mind" in 2012. Robert Barro, a Harvard University Economics professor, asserts, “The bottom line from the Groseclose-Milyo study is that the political slant of most of the mainstream media is far to the left of the typical member of Congress. Thus, if the political opinions of viewers, listeners, and readers are similar to those of their elected representatives, the political leanings of most of the media are far to the left of those of most of their customers.” The book suggests that all media outlets in the United States are left-leaning. He adds that conservative media outlets like Fox News and the Drudge Report are only moderately conservative. Furthermore, he goes on to argue that the left-wing media bias influences American voters to lean left. If it were not for media bias, he claims that the US would think and vote like a solid red state, such as Texas or Kentucky. He also suggests that Republican candidate John McCain would have won the 2008 United States presidential election.

Groseclose became a tenured associate professor of political economy at his alma mater, the Stanford Graduate School of Business, in 1998, where he taught until 2003. He was then associate professor of political science at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) from 2003 to 2005, and became full professor in 2005. In 2006, he also became professor of economics at UCLA. He later served as the Marvin Hoffenberg Professor of American Politics at UCLA. However, he felt ostracized as a conservative faculty member, and decided to resign.

Groseclose started his academic career as assistant professor of political science and political economy at Carnegie Mellon University from 1992 to 1995. He served as assistant professor of political science at Ohio State University from 1996 to 1998.

He was graduated from Lakeside High School in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 1983. He graduated from Stanford University, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematical and computational sciences in 1987. He received a PhD in Political Economics from the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 1992.
