Even the media organ professional journals are full of articles on press political bias. Also you have to note that the the vast majority of Americans have
1. Never read a single non-fiction book.
2. Do not read newspapers. And of those that do, half only read the sports.
3. Do not watch television news shows, and if they do, are watching less liberal shows and more toward Fox.
I was with a very well educated, conservative and from a wealth family, friend. We were watching the Sunday talking heads and he was very upset with them, and concerned with the affect on Bush. I told him that the Sunday shows had less viewers than a British car wax infomercial at 3 in the morning and anyways was only watched by a incestuous cabal of policy wonks.

I was only questioning your use of the phrase "No one...". I do believe some Americans view coverage as leaning one way or the other, whether it is CNN or Foxnews. The problem is they still watch Dan, Tom and Peter regardless of this notion.
For the masses, if you state lie often enough, it becomes the truth...even if one may consider it a lie.
