I'm seeing a lot of left wing this and right wing that. Let me set something straight.
First of all, there is no "liberal media." There is absolutely no evidence to support or suggest that the media as a whole have decidedly left leanings. In fact, just a cursory Google search about this issue can yield these results:

and so on.
If the media was so liberal, why did Sanders get little to no coverage?
If the media is so liberal why did Trump dominate ratings and news reports during the entire election cycle?
If the media is so liberal why is it now only owned by a handful of corporations whose only concern is money and viewership?
If there is a union strike, how does the media respond? It says this is what happens to you. It doesn't say shit about what these people are going through, they just say that your next flight will be delayed a few hours and you get pissed at those damn protesters.
I can go on and on. There is no liberal media
Also, Republicans don't have an equivalent or care about this sort of thing (in regards to Colbert and Stewart being popular "liberal" commentators). My family is full of conservatives. They just ignore everything that isn't Fox. They think anything from PBS to CNN is liberal nonsense. They have no problem drowning it out. Piss off with this liberal media bullshit. It doesn't exist. Everything has moved so far to the right, that anything that would have been considered moderate 10-20 years ago is now considered liberal/communist etc. If the goal posts move far enough to the right, everything is viewed as "left."
tl;dr There is no liberal media.
