"If the media isn't liberal . . ." They definitely are not and never have been for over 30+ years, and actually not before then, either. The media have a long history of being anti-labor, to start with. The "liberal media" is a grand fallacy, is what it is. CNN or MSNBC or whoever else have interest in selling high-priced adverts, just like Fox or anyone else. All media you see on TV and most that searches lead you to on the internet are owned by media conglomerates, and they have the same single interest that any other mega-corporation does. The ongoing incestual relationships* between corporations' board of governors, -including media corporations-, militates against relating news of any underlying consequence, but 'scandal!' and 'political implications!' we have in abundance. *(This CEO is on the board of another company, their CEO is on the board of this company, etc.) It doesn't matter whether 'right' or 'left,' the media will insist on turning everything possible into a politic matter, thereby cutting off any argument of intrinsic merit at the knees and dividing people from the outset, before it gets any further.
