So from the information I got, the basis of the argument that the "media elite" is biased towards the left, is based on the fact that most journalists for big media outlets vote democratic.
So? Why not?
Being a journalist doesn`t require you to not have an opinion, it requires you to not publish your opinion and to only present facts to the public.
And if a far-right loon acuses a journalist to be biased on the basis that, that journalist does not see the world through the narrow minded eyesight of a fundamentalist loon - that is not an argument.
Journalism to me is the presentation of facts, not opinions.
But it would be foolish to ignore that there might be some megalomeniac morons on the left who broadcast their opinions.
In german newsmedia, when reporting on the US, Bill O Reily and Keith Olberman are always given as examples for "journalists" who simply spread their opinion, and who on occasions dont take the thruth serious and think they can demand the resignation of political figures.
In the end it isnt that bad to broadcast your opinion, as long as one underlines that it`s ones opinion, is not dishonest with facts and as long as objective journalism isnt pushed into the background.
