I read all five of your links. The first three don't appear to address the issue of liberal bias. The second two are not at all helpful. They are simply right wing sources accusing the NYT of liberal bias. I would guess their problem is not that NYT has a liberal bias, but that it doesn't have a right wing bias.

I think that the decline in readership and lack of trust in the media has more to do with the internet and the changing interests of the younger demographic. If there is any study attempting to demonstrate a link between bias and declining readership I haven't seen it.

If the media are doing their job it is only natural that the supporters of party in power will hurl accusations of bias. It is the duty of the media to question the actions and look for attempts at dissembling or obfuscation by the party in power.

I read somewhere that the only real news is what those in power don't want you to know.
