The liberal media bias meme is fairly irritating as it's constantly being driven home by the mainstream media itself, an irony that appears to be completely lost on the right-wing editors who continually harp on it. There is some sense to it, though; the old image of the blue-collar whiskey-and-typewriter journalist has largely faded, to be replaced by a new image of the more genteel product of prestigious schools, which, mind you, are also accused of liberal bias. What's to be done? Nobody masterminded a liberal takeover of the media... More like, a lot of smart left-leaning kids applied for jobs in the same industry at the same time and now we have a bias problem.
