The San Jose Mercury-News is the largest (by far) newspaper in Silicon Valley. And I can't remember reading any other paper more liberal than it. What you said certainly doesn't apply here. The other major newspapers are in San Francisco. Now take a guess: Which end of the political spectrum do you think they're at? AM "hate" talk radio is almost exclusively right-wing these days. Well, maybe hate radio is. But how much hate radio is there? (Or do you think all opinion radio that isn't liberal is hate radio?) I don't know of any locally. But KGO is one of the major local radio station; one of their talk show hosts is Bernie Ward and they don't come more liberal than him. Locally, I'd say the liberal media is doing just fine.

Boy, did you prove your extreme bias. >>Americans are increasingly turning away from network television in favor of cable programming, from No. 1 right-wing attack dog Sean Hannity all the way It's Hannity and* Colmes*. That proves your bias because the show is balanced yet you can't see it. There's another guy there, an extreme Liberal named Alan Colmes. It's his show too, but you can't abide the fact that the other side is also seen on Fox. According to every academic study, the major media is heavily Liberal-biased. 88% are self-described Liberals. You are correct in one thing - seeing that the US public is turning away from the Liberal bias when given the opportunity. Your Big Labor-backed stooge, Hightower, was thrown out of office in Texas and has fared miserably on the radio. As has every other Liberal from Cuomo to Hartpence. NPR is a repository of Liberalism that couldn't exist by popular demand, but it's there. Your argument is backwards. Alan Colmes couldn't get arrested if Fox didn't pair him with Hannity. Colmes had already failed as a host on ABCRadio - despite massive promotion. Hannity is a great success on the same. By pairing the popular Hannity with the unpopular Colmes, the better argument is that Fox is promoting the Liberal view by exposing it to people that would otherwise avoid it.
