I tried to explain that was a quick Google of resources that most people consider to be "the media". The OP had suggested not "a single member" to which the counter point is, fairly I believe, minimal evidence to the contrary.
To make a claim about relative magnitude would require us to establish "how much is enough" and I do not believe that was the point in question -- as I am unsure how we could ever make such a determination.

Fair, but when I compare the left echo chamber over the last two weeks when Trump launched attacks in Yemen to the left chamber a couple months ago while Obama was bombing Yemen and US armed groups were fighting each other in Northern Syria, there was a significant perceived difference in the amount of coverage and tone. It's not really quantifiable, as you said, but that doesn't mean it's not true.
