Looking back during the Clinton years, it became apparent to me that most of the televised media was favoring Democrats and was not the neutral news source I was taught that it was. I was raised as a Democrat. In 96 Fox came into existence and eventually this rift was much easier to see. Hence my move to Independent status, apparently along with millions of others. My frame of reference only goes back to the Reagan years, which my family was very anti Reagan so that was my attitude also.
At least as long as I have been alive. Thing is-40 years ago some of the people involved were somewhat professional and made an effort to hide their bias. Worse-there were no unbiased sources to check what the "big 3" presented.
Perhaps it had a slight lean pre-Fox, but its gotten really bad since Fox came along and showed how much money could be made with echo chamber journalism. Once that happened and all righties went to Fox, the rest of the media figured they might as well go left and copy the same model.
