Real media takes their claims to impartiality very seriously, which is part of the problem. Accusations of 'liberal media bias' from people like Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck and the entire Faux News team have pushed the mainstream media to the right and far out of neutral territory just so they can seem moderate. So, when Bill O'Reilly wets himself over-reporting how many people were at a Tea Party rally, the mainstream media picks up on it too.
