What is Liberal Media?
1.
A myth used by Republicans to justify having bilge like FoxNews and Rush Limbaugh on the air. One of the Five Great Scapegoats of the modern American Republican who blames all of his shortcomings on everything but himself.
Scapegoat 1: Terrorists/Foreigners
Scapegoat 2: Democrats and Other Liberals
Scapegoat 3: "The Liberal Media"
Scapegoat 4: Secularism
Scapegoat 5: The Poor

The Daily Show and The Onion. Thats about it.
When CBS has an "intellegence failure" and does an anti-Bush story, 4 people loose their jobs and Dan Rather's career is tainted.
When
George W. Bush has an "intellegence failure," we pre-emptively bomb a country, 1,500 Americans and tens of thousands of Iraqis die. He says "Oops," gets re-elected.

What the media must be if it does not kiss Republican ass. It certainly could not be objective, if the media acknowledges any negative occurrence regarding conservative issues every good journalist knows you are supposed to serve your country and sweep it under the rug to make the government look good. Silly Dems! News is for Nazis!
If the discovery of unfavorable facts surface, simply declare your hatred by claiming the source to be part of the liberal media.

5.
An entirely make-believe term used by Republicans when the news says something they don't like. One day Republicans will realise that vast majority of America's media content comes through the Clear Channel Network; and who has the majority share in that company? Jeb Bush no less. So Republicans, just try to realise that the news is actually on your side, especially in a time of conflict as all for-profit media companies repeat the ruling party's information.
"Today on Fox News, why dark skinned people in turbans WILL hunt you down and kill you."
Liberal Media? Yeah right.

Lemme try to explain this without resorting to insults and stupid comments like other people, liberal or conservative, have both done.
There is a liberal media, its impossible in America to not have anyone in the media who isnt liberal. However, news shows such as Fox News, CNN, CBS, etc., however many liberals are actually working on the show, we mustn't forget that the ones who own the companies, and ultimately control what goes on the air, are extremely wealthy Christian white men (i know that sounds a bit racist but its true nonetheless). Now think, the democrats want to make the rich pay more taxes since they can afford it, and they want to regulate big businesses like them more. They therefore, arent democrats. George Bush wants to give tax cuts to the rich people, therefore they are republicans. So the people who own the companies which control the news are republicans. Therefore, it is not at all surprising if they decide to keep their stations from airing any stories that slam their president whom they support in any way.
There are some comedy shows and programs that are liberal, but they are merely politcal satire and appear very liberal since conservatives leave themselves so open to jokes. (See The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, The Onion)
There are also many liberal celebrities, and it can sometimes get annoying when MTV begins trying to appeal to kids by saying they hate bush too. However, MTV and whatever celebrities do are not a major part of the media, The News is.
Comedy shows and a few bush slamming stories on the news are about the extent of the liberal media
