I am saying that it is my opinion that the media has a liberal bias. I base this opinion on the news coverage I have seen/read about each candidate and how the media has treated them differently given similar circumstances.
I have never met a conservative who denies that Fox news or WSJ are biased. I have also never met a liberal who admits the same thing of other media sources.
