Yes, compared to say the GuardianUK, the US media as a whole probably could be considered conservative. Something tells me though, that you stand somewhere to left of Castro and the Guardian probably wouldn't even scratch your liberal itch.

Like most Americans, I'm a moderate who leans slightly left. Pro choice, anti death penalty, pro responsible gun ownership, pro environment, etc. The media in the United States has been extremely nice to Bush ever since he got into office. The same media previously spent eight years attacking and trying to bring down Bill Clinton. If that isn't bias, what is?
Edit Note: The only reason I am considered to the left of center at all is because the extremists on the right have moved the center to the right over the last 10 years. What is right and left, liberal and coservative, is always shifting. In the late 90's there were more right wing extremists than left, so the center moved right. There will be a backlash and it will move back eventually and then the cycle will start over again.
