Or was it always this way?
Case in point:
O'Reilly
Beck
Dobbs
Grace
Hannity
Scarbourough
Press
Carlsom
Matthews
People are either a liberal or a conservative, we can even see touches of this in the non-talk show news anchors!

Those are individual shows and their hosts, and are exceptions.
Overall most news is fair.
People cry bias why something is reported on....and they don't like the answer.

Tofu Jesus:
Because If you are not with "us" , you are with the terrorists.
All tv news media has to be in lock step with our government, and partly it's because it is run by corporate interest.
They are all in bed with each other, why do you think despite there being oil spills and corporate disasters all over the place you will NEVER here or see it on the news. And why else, despite there being now 150,000!!!!! Iraqi casualties due to Bush's war on "terror" which had NOTHING to do with 9/11, you won't see
ONE drop of BLOOD on your news media?
....they learned from the public relations disaster during the vietnam war, NO media is allowed to show the public what is going on over there.

You have a point.
The news was always biased like this.
But until 20 years ago, it was all liberals, and no conversatives. They showed up on radio.
Now there are a couple of conservatives on TV, but the rest are still liberal.

It's always been ultrabiased, you have to look for different outlets, but even the Discovery Channel and the History Channel are somewhat biased.

We are all biased in some way dude, give it up. Glenn Beck is hilarious!!!!! Ever heard his show? lol
Conservative talk radio is a must for getting through the liberal spin that is so pervasive in todays politcally correct anti-Christian anti-semite anti-govt media.

Because people mistake newspapers and TV news reports for things that contain news. In fact they are just entertainment industries catering to their customers. So if you believe your viewers/readers are conservative, you run conservative stories so they keep buying your paper.
The bad news though is that the internet is even worse for news. A good story travels much faster than facts because it's more interesting to tell people a good story. "I just heard... blah blah blah". The facts are boring in comparison.

Because nonbiased reporting is a liberal idea and conservatives own the media.

News is controlled by higher companies with interests. They have to follow their guidelines.
Independence is needed. To do this, news must be self-financed, and not financed by any external interest...
My 2 cents...
