Conservative Media Bias
Source: Media Matters for America, September 12, 2007
Media Matters for America, the liberal media watchdog organization, has conducted a systematic study of the commentary sections in U.S. newspapers. "The results show that in paper after paper, state after state, and region after region, conservative syndicated columnists get more space than their progressive counterparts," they conclude. "Sixty percent of the nation's daily newspapers print more conservative syndicated columnists every week than progressive syndicated columnists."

This is absolutely true and undeniable
The "liberal media" myth is the result of endless parsing and meaningless statistics. The measures of "liberal media" are based on entirely subjective definitions of "liberal." Many surveys purportedly reflecting liberal media bias rely on notoriously unreliable self-reported data.
When it comes to the self-evidently conservative bias of media it is a matter of "who do you believe me or your lying eyes?" What liberal media instutution would cover conservative accusations of bias so assiduously as bastions of "liberality" such as Disney's ABC and GE's NBC?
