I think you need to separate media into their component parts...

I think reporters/faces are more liberal than the general community... but considering their demographic mix... they aren't really any different to the general community.

Editorial staff are a mix, in newspapers there is much more independence but in TV... considering the expense of putting a TV station to air, they're much more driven by the owners... which leads us to...

Owners, who generally care about profits and circulation FAR more than political ideology, they'll support whichever will generate the most profits.

Note that people of a liberal bent are much more likely to get their news from the internet and a few limited sources, people of a conservative bent are much more likely to skew older and therefore more dependent on TV and newspapers. ... there's more money in conservative media... and especially when advocating the conservative persecution line.

But the stock-standard position of conservatives to generate hype by going emo "everybody hates me and nobody understands me!!" is ridiculous.
