If you can get access to LEXIS-NEXIS, try running the numbers....
Like I mentioned in the post Sasquatch linked to, try checking "Matthew Shepard" vs. "Jesse Dirkhising" or "Jeffry Curley" and see which event the media thinks is more important--a homosexual brutally murdered by two heterosexuals or a heterosexual brutally murdered by two homosexuals. I guarantee that Shepard got more coverage than Jesse or Jeffry combined.
Then try checking "James Byrd" vs. "Ken Tillery" to see the same bias in racial matters.
Then try the terminology they use. Say, "extreme right" vs. "extreme left", then "far right" vs. "far left", etc.. I've run the numbers on LEXIS-NEXIS on this, and apparently the mainstream media is unaware there is such a concept as 'center right'.
Then there's the individual examples--CNN's admitting they covered the truth for Sodom, Dan Rather's testicle-polishing interview with same, Memo-gate, the New York Time exaggerating the stolen bombs, Eason Jordan accusing the military of targeting journalists, Walter Cronkite's dishonest Tet Offensive reporting that may indeed have lost us the war (dropped support 25%) and caused us to betray and abandon our allies in one of the most shameful acts in American history, etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum
But, as I noted, there's a rather large amount of liberal bias--not only easy to see but pretty well-documented--this being one of my favorite links, wherein Newsweek Assistant Managing Editor Evan Thomas says the media bias was worth as much as 15 points to John F'ing Kerry.
