The problem is that the media doesn't tell you what you want to hear. When someone in the media goes on and on about how popular and wildly charismatic Bush is, besides wanting to puke

Going on and on about Bush' popularity isn't something I want to hear either. Its just boring. But mentioning occationally, esp. in the context of news about a poll or an election makes sense. Clinton's poll ratins where also mentioned a lot as where previous presidents.

believe the media has a biase against the tenets of conservatism. And as I have argued with D.Ray in the past, I would suggest the fault is not with the media but that conservatism is out of touch with the mainstream.

The facts just don't support your contention here. Most media outlets are to the left of America as a whole. Journalists vote Democratic far more then the population as a whole does. And they ignore or bash Conservative ideas that have majority or strong minority support. You are free to argue that conservatism is wrong or bad for the country, but it is solidly in the mainstream or Bush would not have been elected and Reagan would not have won by a huge margin. If conservatism was so outside the mainstream the Democrats would win in a rout almost every time at least if the Republicans ran a conservative.
