When I was in college - waaay back in the day, before camera phones and Web 1.0,let alone 2.0 - the right wing assault on America's media industry hadalready been in full swing for some time, long enough for the conceptof "The Liberal Media" to have been accepted by pretty much everyone.All conservatives believed it, of course, because that explained whytheir philosophies didn't always square with the way the world wasworking. Liberals tended to believe it back then as well, based partlyon the idea that "facts have a liberal bias" and the impression thatjournalists, being well-read and traveled, would naturally be liberals.
