Are "journalists" biased or is "journalism" biased? I did a quick google (supply more if you've got 'em) and most seem to be in the 60% range saying things like "they see more liberal pundits" or the like. Which just tells me that the staff is liberal, and management is conservative (Unless you think Sumner Redstone is a bleeding heart...). Hardly surprising, and not terribly informative if you ask me. It isn't like the guys at the top don't have some influence over the direction of their paper.

Anyway, that angle is so last decade, so 90s. "Infotainment" is the new "Liberal Bias." Which is a more entertaining headline/lead in? "Democratic Candidates differ only slightly on substantive policy issues" or "Jeremiah Wright shoots at Hillary Clinton in Kosovo war zone, while Tony Rezko exhumes Vincent Foster's body at Obama's request?" Answer that, and you'll have identified the real motivating factor in today's media. Well, that, and sexy local news anchors.
