The media in the US has always been liberal to some degree or another. If they weren't, women couldn't vote and we'd probably still be working in the factory 12 hours a day with no weekends and no overtime pay alongside 8 year old kids while eating unsanitary food.

What always gets me is that people complain about the 'liberal' media, and yet, where is the 'conservative' media? It's not a closed system, you know. Anyone can start their own publication or at least have a show on the public access channel. There are already 'conservative' talk radio stations. Of course, most of those talk radio people I've heard come off as nazi-esque flaming gasbags, but I'm sure there are others.
