One of these years you really need to take a course in logic. An appeal to 
authority (see 
http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/appeal-to-authority.html) is an 
invalid argument. To make is simple for you, here's a rough sketch:

An Appeal to Authority is a fallacy with the following form:

   1. Person A is (claimed to be) an authority on subject S.
   2. Person A makes claim C about subject S.
   3. Therefore, C is true. 

You are claiming that a certain BUSINESS journalist says that the "media" has a 
liberal bias. He is a journalist so he "ought" to know what he's talking about. 
Ergo, the media has a liberal bias. 

See the similarity. Is there any real evidence for that. If not then you're 
just blowing hot air, and not out your mouth I suspect.
