Liberal media ...riight
I just got done going through my local newspapers editorial page and there's a guy named Brent Bozell writing about how liberal media is shorting the poor President.
How can any sane person believe media is skewered left?
There are about ten to one conservative to Liberal writers represented on the Evening Review (local rag) which is the norm on smaller local newspapers.
The numbers are at least 5 to one conservative to liberal hosts on television with their own "news" shows on cable. MSNBC has way more right wing hosts such as the bow tied Tucker Carlson and Joe "regular guy" Scarborough and now the ditzy blonde Fox reject (Rita Whatsername) that sounds as if she's having a constant asthma attack.
And then there's Fox.
Fox is a 24/7/365 republican propaganda network that has really weak Lefty representation. The few they have are laughable. Consider Sean Hannity's pet monkey, Allan Colmes . He is nothing more than a stereotypical bed wetting milquetoast that Fox slickly uses as representative of what the average Liberal is. (which is like saying all Blacks like fried chicken) Most Liberals I know are hard working blue collar types who would punch your lights out if you called them weak or effeminate.. Far from anything the media uses as stereotypical Liberals.
The bias on TV, radio and newspapers is obvious skewed toward the right wing. Theres no debate here. Its obvious.
So you right wingers like the idiot columnist Brent Bozell , should really just STFU.

The whole "liberal media" concept is a myth constructed during the Reagan era out of materials common in evangelical religion. Preachers have always known that to sell god and heaven you have to keep people scared of the devil, which means convincing them that the world is controlled by Satan. In other words, if there were no Satan, there's nothing to worry about and nothing more to sell. The "liberal media" plays the Satan role for the contemporary right. As long as they can keep everyone afraid of this thing called the liberal media, the faithful will keep sending money. They'll keep believing.
