The "Media" are only doing what the stock analysts did at Merrill Lynch, advise "buy" on politicians that were bad investments. Someday (not in my lifetime) the public will understand that the Cronkite's sold the U.S. on Lyndon Johnson, and Brokaw-Rather-Jennings sold the U.S. on Bill Clinton. The press is a shill for the Democratic Party, just as investment bankers are shills for their company and its clients. The stock market deals in money and power, the press in power and money.

So how did Reagan win? Carter was an Edsel!

The response from the left to Fox News is hillarious. How long have they tirelessly worked to refute the argument that the media leans way the hell to the left? Answer: ever since the media started to lean to the left of most of the country. How long did it take them to criticized Fox News for being conservative? Probably all of two seconds after it started.
Conservatives know Fox News is conservative. It's not as right-wing as I'd like it to be, but it is without a doubt to the right of where the mainstream media is. Liberals deny all day long that the media is biased, but then turn around and throw away a few shots at the Wall Street Journal and Fox News.
I think Fox News is misguided in its campaign to call itself "Fair and Balanced". I wish we could just drop the facade of objectivism. It doesn't exist, and everyone knows it. There may be a bit of hypocracy in some conservatives for celebrating Fox News, but I think pretty much every conservative admits that it is what it is. Liberals will keep on rationalizing, lying, and deluding themselves. They are dyed-in-the-wool hypocrites.
I think what's best about liberals is also what's worst about them. It's fun to know that their arguments, ALL their arguments, have no basis in reality. But it's saddening beyond belief to realize that an intellectually bankrupt and irrational system of belief (if, in fact, you can call it a "system") could be so effective in winning the hearts and minds of the country.
