You got your news from primarily conservative (esp fiscally conservative) sources, whereas most Americans, especially those over 30, get their news from ABC, NBC, and CBS. Among the big three and the major daily newspapers (apart from the relatively conservative WSJ), surveys have showed that 90% of the people in newsrooms identify themselves as politically liberal. The liberal tilt comes from the people reporting the news and their editors. As I said, there is no conspiracy, just a liberal worldview re-enforced by fellow colleagues, and it shapes their coverage.
Other countries are clear about where their major media outlets stand politically, why do we pretend to be different? It's a farce.
