This is from 2004, but the findings were a surprise...
While the editorial page of The Wall Street Journal is conservative, the newspaper's news pages are liberal, even more liberal than The New York Times. The Drudge Report may have a right-wing reputation, but it leans left. Coverage by public television and radio is conservative compared to the rest of the mainstream media. Meanwhile, almost all major media outlets tilt to the left.
These are just a few of the surprising findings from a UCLA-led study, which is believed to be the first successful attempt at objectively quantifying bias in a range of media outlets and ranking them accordingly.
Maybe not. As I told someone else, it might be helpful to Google a peek at reaction to that UCLA study. You'll find some troubling questions about the methodology, from a variety of academic and non-academic sources, some of which note that the two authors "have previously received funding from the three premier conservative think tanks in the United States". There's a good analysis from what I think is a relatively balanced source here.
