I'm hoping this is an inadvertent straw man. Is there anyone on the left who would dispute this? Media is it's own indignant shouty echo chamber.
- ferongr 11y agoI have no horse in this race (I don't even live in the USA) but I've seen people use "Reality has a liberal bias" on HN unironically so I guess this could answer your question.

Some of the things that are said, or the characters that are produced as pundits...it's astonishing. Their agenda is so blatant. Watch the station for 15 minutes and you'll likely ask, "How do people take this seriously?" In fact, it's so obvious that I still watch the channel, because it adds an element of humour when all I'm looking for is data. The left, on the other hand, does it in a far more intelligent, subtle way. And I think it fools a lot of people. Look in this very thread at how many people picked up on the fact that the "first thing cut" was the fact-checking department. That may or may not be true, but we don't know from this article.
