Let's see. The original post argues that what many people believe is incorrect, and provides evidence in support of that position.
Your response--remember, you are responding to the claim that what many people believe is incorrect--is to post more survey data documenting what many people believe.
Most American media outlets have a strong corporatist bias. That tends to be the common thread that binds them together. Certain areas of inquiry are simply off-limits to a lot of publications or outlets because looking into them would offend advertisers, and that would not be acceptable.
With Liberals being only 21% of the population and conservatives TWICE that, the media should reflect a very conservative bias--simply to reflect reality.
In truth, our media and our government is so radically far to the liberal left, that a moderate conservative is seemingly the "lunatic fringe." Thanks to the sheer ineptitude of liberal governance, however, we'll we back to the Founding Fathers' Libertarian successes soon after TSHTF--as it inevitably will, now.
This view I think perfectly illustrates the results to the poll that was posted. The media is for the most part fair, but the right wing media is so off the charts to the right, anything that isn't hard to the right, they see as liberal.
I reallt think we have seen all media show their biases clearly .Its no different than the old newpapers that were clearly know to be repulican or democratic.I thnik nteh Westmoreland case clearly showed how far that bias can drive a story with some of the most acclaimed national jpournalist from one of the so called major three networks. It was perhaps the watershed moment in media claims of being unbised.
But they don't realize that Fox News grabs most of the media audience.
Could the reason that Fox News consistently beats the other outlets is because the public knows that the other TV media outlets are skewed to the left? And that only about 20% of the public identify themselves as "liberal"?
"Media bias" is a purely subjective opinion and that is all that people have to go on. There really isn't any way to objectively measure this touchy subject.

Such as the poll numbers you presented.
Never mind, that there is truth to why greater number of sheeple would flock...
