Please name these right wing "outlets". I have a feeling you are going to refer to blogs, internet sites ,etc that are far from mainstream.
Liberal Democrats have the mainstream media in their pocket. We are talking the media outlest in TV and publishing that have tremendous impact and reach.
Conservatives have Fox News Channel for TV while Liberals have MSNBC, CNN, and the ABC, NBC, and CBS network news divisions.
Conservatives have The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Times while liberals have virtually all other major daily newspapers including The New York Times, Washington Post, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Boston, etc, etc, etc.
Between the mass media liberal bias and the 90% plus bias of liberals in Higher Education I am amazed that a Republican or Conservative has been elected to any office in the last 20 years.
