I think it depend on how you go about classifying the media/newspapers Left 
or Right.

Who's asking the question and how it's asked often leads the answer.

But, forget classifying "the media"...it HAS been my experience that most of 
the reporters I have met have had a personal liberal bent.

Do you think the Globe has an equal number of conservative and liberal 
columnists?

Please quote the cource for this.  I don't believe it.
