The funny thing is, the media's bias is really not helping the Democrats any more. Imagine how it would be if the media just reported news about candidates and party positions fairly. There'd be veto-proof Republican majorities in both houses of Congress, a Republican Presidency, and the USSC would likely be stacked 8-1 in favor of conservatives (simply because with better, more accurate reporting, we wouldn't have "Borkings," or put Clarence Thomas through the kind of ordeal he went through.)

That's a nice fantasy, but I'm afraid you are kidding yourself.
If the media was more fair, the GOP would drift further to the left.
