I think that the categories of <left,liberal> and <right, conservative> are failing and we are beginning the see those cracks. One way of looking at the media bias issue is to notice how many people are saying the media doesn't represent them. People are not getting very juiced by much of what they hear and read from the media. One consequence of the failure of the old categories is that most of the media and the politicians have run to the center. The centre becomes a confused, bland mish mash of popular opinion.

Outside of the WSJ journal editorial page, it is hard to find a very difficult for me to find a decent discussion of economics, that rings true for me, in the popular media. I imagine the same is true for people on left where they have opinions as definitive as mine.

I am not sure what will emerge to replace or renew the left-right distinction but I think the terms are losing their relevance today.
