more on the myth of "liberal media"

so much shit has been happening in the last few days - in the world and in my private life - that i'm overwhelmed and don't even know where to start! but, MediaMatters has brought up a number of issues regarding the myth of "liberal media" (the idea is so absurd these days that i have to use quotations!) that i figured i'd post links:

Cable news dismissed and ridiculed inauguration protesters

While conservatives accused Face the Nation of slanting left, Schieffer came clean on program's Republican-dominated guest list

CNN paid scant attention to inaugural demonstrators, focused instead on license plates and limos

No room for progressives on cable news inauguration coverage

And this is besides the usual Fox BS! I guess the fantasy about "liberal media" is created when, once in a blue moon, some facts are actually reported (instead of continual repetition of repub talking points), and, of course, facts always makes "conservatives" look bad!
