In fact, there’s little to suggest that over the past few decades news reporting has become more favorable to one party.

Can't say I disagree here. For the past few decades, the media has been in the tank for the Dems. We on the right just have the means to make that clear now.

It may not be the reportage per se, but the method, frequency and tone.

While they may report on the malfeasance of a democRAT they rarely mention the party affiliation in the first few words as they do for a republican.

Also the choice of what leads above the fold, or ends up on page B12. That is the bias that is unspoken.

A glaring example is the Fast and Furious program, the birth certificate, et al. An absolute refusal to pursue issues that reflect badly on those that they are simpatico with amounts to bias.

“In fact, there’s little to suggest that over the past few decades news reporting has become more favorable to one party.”

That’s because we have had persistent liberal media bias for decades.
Dan Rather and his crowd were biased against Republicans in the 1970s and 1980s. Nothing new.

“For the past few decades, the media has been in the tank for the Dems. We on the right just have the means to make that clear now.”

Yup. new media outlets (like Rush) and the internet has exposed their bias.
