What up with liberal media bias?

It is pretty obvious that the media puts a liberal spin on everything it covers. When and how did the media become liberal?

    Any body here who says that the media is center right must be living in another country. Yes, fox five is conservative, but it is attacked endlessly by being so from people who make up lies to discredit it.

    You want to see a phony, lying station? Look at CBS, msnbc, or any other liberal station. Try to back up any of THEIR claims.

    Sick liberal bastards.

    Not really. The media is owned and controlled by right-wing individuals. That is an incontrovertible fact. If it seems Liberal, that means that they can't slant the news any more than they do without the public calling them on it and the truth would make the right wing look even worse than it does. Perhaps you've noticed that though there is still a monster storm raging through part of the country, the media hardly mentions it because the right wingers have been such turds in trying to use it for their own gain (myGod, giving "emergency" supplies Romney paid people to "donate" on camera to swing states that the storm didn't hit, how rotten can they get?) and people realize it that they are trying to pretend it isn't still a major news story. No my friend, if the media reported without heavy righ-wing censoring, the people would be up in arms against your buddies. When Gov. Christie had a choice between going with the people actually doing something useful or appearing as a prop for Willard Romney in a publicity photo opportunity, he did the right thing and told the useless Republican duo to stay out of the way. Don't need them. That's your fantasy liberal spin, making the ultra right dough-heads look semi human when they are vermin.

    It makes me sad that we have people in the U.S. that are so stupid that they believe the media is "liberal"

    Looking at the media coverage today of the aftermath of Sandy, where saying good things about the President couldn't be avoided, it was in a left-handed compliment style and even stories about the President had pictures of Romney, that disgusting country club brat.

    I bet Gov. Christie gives thanks to God that there is a gopod man in the WHitehouse and that he has a chance to make amends for supporting the hacks brought out by Carl Rove, traitor supreme to the U.S.

    The US media is a center right entity if something sounds "liberal" to you it is because you are an alternate reality far right conservative and normal seems liberal. All the so called "liberal" media outlets still fall inside the margins of whatever is acceptable for the 2 party pro fascism lite status quo deem acceptable for "reporting".

    EDIT: @Angienore <---Living proof that being so far on the right distorts perceptions of reality.

    Along with the Liberals most of the media has moved on to the 21st Century ... unlike the Conservatives who are still coming to grips that the Earth is not flat ... !

    Lie.

    The media is corporate-owned, and puts a pro-corporate spin on everything.

    They've actually been right-leaning for a long time now.

    For instance, when Republicans had the White House and Congress, they almost NEVER had any Dems on their talk shows. When Dems had power, they had AT MOST half Dems on their talk shows.

    For every 10 seconds of time they give to the dem side, they give 30 second to Republicans. AND they refuse to fact-check 99.9% of Republican lies.

    It SEEMS "obvious" to those who listen to liars and mindlessly believe every lie those liars tell them. Reality-Based people know otherwise.
