Possibly, as these medium SEEK to be an alternative to the liberal dominated media. The rest of the media hires liberals automatically as they see their point of view as being the only one worthy of comment anyways.

So the conservative media hire conservatives...and the liberal media hire liberals. I don't exactly see it quite like that, but I understand that there could be bias in hiring.

BTW, I'm glad to see your honest enough to grant that there is indeed bias in the major media. Most liberals are not so honest.

I never said that. I was asking you the question. That said, I think there can be bias in media reporting. But I don't think that there is lock on media which keeps people out of the business. Media is a powerful tool, just ask Murdock or Limbaugh. Further I think that there is a broad array of opinion and bias available to the general public in the media. And that bias is generally a reflection of the reader or the listener. Because in the final analysis, if no one buys a paper or tunes in to the radio or TV then the business will fail.

It's market driven. So my advice to you is to SEEK the bias that you prefer. There are a lot of journalists that strive to "report" without bias. SEEK them.
