The internet makes it possible for anyone, anywhere, to get a reasonably good handle on what "the mainstream media" has to say. Part of the problem, of course, is the lack of a consistent definition of what "liberal" or "conservative" actually mean. When conservatives complain that the media are "liberal", they simply mean that they feel that the media are more liberal than they are. When the lefties complain that the media are "conservative" they simply mean that the media are more conservative than they are. As has been pointed out before, media outlets are highly competitive businesses, and what they present is governed more by market research than ideological perspective. There is certainly no shortage of conservatively biased news outlets, they simply don't seem to get much attention. Since people are pretty much free to look for news where they want it, what conclusions can we draw from that? My personal opinion is that if conservatives would stick to their core economic issues - by far their strongest positions, IMO - and lighten up on the social righteousness and the hawkish foreign policies, they would find a lot more favor with many Americans.
