It is common knowledge that the network news are biased in favor of ALL liberal agendas, yet dem supporters keep crying that there is a conservative bias.
Are these supporters lying, have they succumbed to the propaganda or are they trying to divert the truth as usual?
Have any of them read this university study? Why would they lie?

If you say it enough it must be true. They have learned this. I don't think ALL of the media supports Democrats, but a large portion of it does. They are certainly backing it with enough money.

Saying that something is common knowledge does not make it so. Who owns most of the newspapers and TV stations in this country? Rich conservatives do. Now it is true that the majority of people who work in the news business are liberal. This is because they are better informed than your average TV viewer. While it does not hold true for everyone, most people who are well informed about politics are liberal. This is partly due to the fact that conservatives cannot be bothered with facts.

The media are only as liberal as the right-wing corporations that own them.
CBS = Viacom
NBC = General Electric (a Defense contractor)
ABC = Disney
FOX = a conscious attempt to present a right-wing spin on the news while pretending to be "fair and balanced". Owned and run by Rupert Murdoch, a known hard-rightist. Faux News is run by Roger Ailes, a former Republican progapagandist and advisor.

Does FOX NEWS support the Dems now?
I'm not surprised. It's all Whitewater.
And a friend of mine tells me that even the military have gone Dem: that officers are standing over their enlisted men to see how they vote, that they vote the STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
It's Whitewater again. Limbaugh and O'Reilly will switch just before the election. It's all fixed.

"Liberal meda" is one of the biggest strawmen in history.
Conservatives have such a persecution complex. Liberals aren't much better. If you think that the news has a liberal bias then you obviously are misusing one or more of the following terms: "liberal" and/or "news".
P.S. Saying something repeatedly and loudly does not make it true. Reference: "Communism is a threat to the free world."

The Dems whining about the conservative bias of the media are extremely far-left (i.e., lost in space).
As for the MSM actively supporting any living, breathing Dem, I'd say "yes" - in the form of cash contributions - but would have to research it to prove it.

FOX news is the only media that tells the truth. The rest are a bunch of liberal pukes!

there is a difference between calling them liars and simply questioning their methodology. I don't know how useful if is to compare media reports to speeches by members of congress.

No, Fox News doesn't.
