The Media is Liberal - Here is Your Cite Please

Doesn't really speak to what the media reports or how it reports it, other than the soft connotation that noone can ever be truly objective.

It also doesn't address the biases of the people who own the media. If you assume that the liberal biases of journalists matter, you should assume the same about the biases of publishers and major corporations, who would have to be acting pretty irrationally to let their employees use their capital to spread lefty messages.
