[[ABC]], CBS, and [[NBC]] together have unloaded more than a thousand stories on Obama’s Obama's presidential campaign but not a single story devoted to examining Obama’s Obama's abysmal abortion record.<ref>[http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brent-bozell/2008/10/14/bozell-column-whos-fierce-abortion Bozell Column: Who's 'Fierce' on Abortion?] NewsBusters.org, October 14, 2008</ref>
Billionaire ultra liberal atheist investor [[George Soros]], who spent $27 million trying to defeat President Bush in 2004, is a very substantial supporter of liberal media.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2011/05/11/dont-hear-george-soros-ties-30-major-news-organizations/print</ref>
====Notable examples====
*A New York Times piece claimed Energy Secretary-designate [[Rick Perry]] had no idea a key purpose of the Department of Energy is to maintain US nuclear security. But Perry’s Perry's statement '''on the day he was nominated''' says flatly he looks forward to "safeguarding our nuclear arsenal."<ref>http://nypost.com/2017/01/19/newsrooms-latest-low-blows-against-team-trump/</ref>
*There have been numerous times where both Republicans and Democrats have made the same or similar gaffes, but the media only focuses on, or criticizes, the gaffe when the Republican says it and uses that gaffe to try to discredit the Republican, while they whitewash and ignore the Democrat gaffe.<ref>Shaw, Adam (March 10, 2017).

Retrieved March 13, 2017.</ref>
*The media uses mass shootings to push their agenda. When shootings occur, they call for gun control even to the point of repealing the [[Second Amendment]], and it tried to blame pro-gun organizations such as the [[National Rifle Association]] even when failure to enforce existing regulations are at fault.<ref>Multiple references:
*The liberal media enjoys pointing out that certain [[right-wing populist]] parties in Europe had historical (though admittedly, not current) connections to "neo-Nazis", as weak those connections were, but it never points out the all social democratic parties had very strong historical connections to Marxism and communism.
*The media enjoys searching for left-wing politicians from [[the South]] who they think can win in those states, and thus, in the entire country, and they end up writing glowing profiles of those candidates – even though nearly all of those candidates fail in the statewide elections, and those who win do it because of factors not inherent in their policies or character.<ref>Geraghty, Jim (October 13, 2018).

Multiple different studies by both conservative and mainstream organizations have found mainstream media coverage of Trump to be overwhelmingly negative.
==Liberal media outlets==
===MSNBC===
While it is well known that MSNBC's [[Keith Olbermann]] is the most viciously liberal voice to host a news program within the mainstream media, he usually tones down his anti-conservative, anti-Republican vitriol when anchoring special events like election results. But during MSNBC’s MSNBC's coverage of the [[Massachusetts]] special Senate election, Olbermann's presentation was more rabidly partisan than if the Democratic National Committee itself were producing the show.<ref>[http://www.mrc.org/biasalert/2010/20100120084741.aspx Olbermann Renews 'Teabagging' Attack on Scott Brown, Cuts His Victory Speech]</ref>

This liberal bias has even made its way to subjects that make up the very heart of America: [[The Constitution]], and [[Christianity]]. Their venerable age no longer protects them from being criticized in the light of modern exigencies. Moreover, in this view the first duty laid upon the State is to guarantee the economic well-being of the individual citizens. Hence it is judged from the practical standpoint and according to general principles based on the idea of economic returns. The chief representatives of this theory of the State are to be found among the average American socialist, especially our liberal Democrats.
Research on the political leanings of their university professors by members of The George Washington University Chapter of Young America’s America's Foundation (GWYAF) found substantial liberal bias in the academy. The school’s school's faculty gave 92 percent of their political donations ($221,490) to Democratic candidates versus only 8 percent ($20,500) to Republicans in the 2008 primary election. Consistent with this, in the presidential election the ratio was 91 percent to 9 percent.
Similarly, the ratio of Yale faculty donations in the 2004 presidential election between Kerry and Bush was 150:3. The ratio at Princeton was 114:1, and at Harvard, 406:13.<ref>http://www.academia.org/george-washington-slanted-here/</ref>
A similar landmark study was conducted in 1990, examining the political leanings of the individuals, rather than the organizations, who were most often cited or quoted as experts on various topics in the news. The examination showed that on the subject of welfare and related issues, liberal experts were quoted 75 percent of the time, conservatives 22 percent. On consumer issues, the liberal-conservative ratio was 63 percent to 22 percent. On environmental issues, the ratio was 79 percent to 18 percent. And regarding nuclear energy, the ratio was 77 percent to 20 percent.<ref>Robert Lichter, Stanley Rothman, and Linda Lichter, The Media Elite: America’s New Power Brokers (New York: Hastings House, 1990).</ref>
The decidedly liberal majority in news media is similar to that seen in American colleges and faculty, which most journalists were influenced by. A major study showed that 50% of American college faculty identified themselves as Democrats and 11% as Republicans (with 33% being Independent, and 5% identifying themselves with another party). 72% described themselves as "to the left of center," including 18% who were strongly left. Only 15% described themselves as right of center, including only 3% who were "strongly right."<ref name="American Academic Study Survey 1999"/><ref>[http://montages.blogspot.com/2005/04/conservatives-underrepresented-in.html Conservatives: Underrepresented in Academia?]</ref> According to the Pew Research Center in January 2019, 73% of Republicans believe that the media does not understand people like them.<ref>Harper, Jennifer (January 18, 2019).

Because of their now-blatant ideological bias and disregard for all things conservative, the liberal media has abandoned any and all pretense of being on the side of the public in its news coverage and basically no longer serves the public interest. In covering stories on Islamic terrorist attacks, the liberal media has refused to reveal the [[Islam]]ic ideology which motivated the terrorists to kill and destroy, refusing to even identify them as Islamic terrorists. For that same reason, the liberal media has now even begun endangering the public by refusing to cover stories on natural disasters in areas of the United States which are considered "[[red state]]s" or have a majority conservative population, such as the recent wave of tornadoes which struck the Midwestern states of Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and Illinois (particularly the town of Oak Grove, Missouri, which was hardest-hit by tornado activity) on March 7, 2017, all because it considers that area of the country and its population to be the "wrong demographic".<ref>[http://www.conservativenewsandviews.com/2017/03/15/accountability/news-media/tornadoes-victims-wrong-demographic/ Tornadoes, victims and "wrong demographics"] at Conservative News and Views</ref> Because of this willful and conscious media blackout decision due to liberal bias, much-needed aid for the victims of the tornado in Oak Grove and other affected areas has been slow in arriving.
