The "liberal media" that conservatives keep complaining about is like the Christian's Heaven:
They keep claiming it exists but can never say where or cite any evidence to prove it.
Media Bias is well understood and real. Your claim that it doesn't exist is remarkably ignorant.
Where it exists - in all news media
Evidence of it - I'll come at this from two angles:
1. 4 debates - all left-leaning moderators - the democrat got more time in all 4 debates. Just a coincidence?
2. Note this paragraph from the wikipedia article on Media Bias:
"Media bias is studied at schools of journalism, university departments (including Media studies, Cultural studies and Peace studies) and by independent watchdog groups from various parts of the political spectrum. In the United States, many of these studies focus on issues of a conservative/liberal balance in the media. Other focuses include international differences in reporting, as well as bias in reporting of particular issues such as economic class or environmental interests."
Your claim is that this non-existent thing is being studied by "schools of journalism, university departments (including Media studies, Cultural studies and Peace studies) and by independent watchdog groups from various parts of the political spectrum. "
