Why does the Right always scream "liberal media"?

Question

The overwhelming majority of media in this country (USA)expresses explicitly conservative / right wing politics( CNN, Fox, most local television news, newspapers, radio etc ), when liberal / left wing politics ARE represented it is either distorted or watered down. So why are conservatives still taken seriously when they cry liberal bias in the media? The percentage of reportage of left/liberal issues such as labor, women's or civil rights issues is virtually nil except when reported from a conservative angle.

Answer 1

because the press are liberal minded wiennies.

Answer 2

Nietzsche once said "There are no facts, only interpretations". I guess it depends on where you go for your news. Bill O'Reilly is going to have a different take on a news story than Amy Goodman. As long as Rupert Murdoch doesn't buy up all the news media outlets, a certain balance can be maintained.

Answer 3

Your through study and tabulation of media from TV, radio and print sources has not been widely published or noted in the conservative media.   If you would provide those obscure left wing sources that have published your  study I'm sure many would like to review your data.

Answer 4

cause they are right.
