On your first point, according to numerous polls America is still a center right country so it is no surprise that the only truly national office has been occupied by Republicans over the last 30 years. Just look at how every Democrat tries to sound conservative when they run for President. And I will say that despite the leftist leanings of the govt media in the past, they at least pretended to being objective. But in recent years the number of politicos that have entered the govt media has skyrocketed to to the point you can't tell where one ends and the other begins. And they saw how by ignoring the faults of their candidate and focusing negatively on the GOP candidate they were able to help elect an unknown, untested, deeply flawed candidate in 2008 and they are doubling down in 2012.
As to your question the answer is CNN is clearly left leaning and Fox clearly leans to the right but no doubt with more balance than any of the others. To wit, I list the left leaning people on FoxNews: Bob Beckel, Alan Colmes, Juan Williams, Mora Liasson, Evan Bayh, Monica Crowley, etc. On CNN you have Bill Bennett. Every one of their remaining contributors range from left leaning to being downright and openly hostile to the GOP.
On a related note, at least Univision is doing the job the govt media won't and is covering Fast & Furious and the murder of Mexican citizens by arms supplied by the Obama administration in a failed attempt to promote gun control But if you get your news from CNN, aBS, cBS, nBS, pmsnBS, NYT, WaPo, LAT or other govt media outlets you might not actually know this......
Which of course is Pat Caddells very correct observation. If the govt media as he put it, went after everyone with equal ferocity Obama would be down by 10% in all the polls, including the ones that oversample Dems.
