The Right sees Left bias everywhere

For the second time in a month a right winger has whinged to me about our left-biased media and I'm going to get this off my chest because it's ridiculous. When I described the media of today as right biased, I was asked "which newspapers have you been reading?" (Sorry fishhead). Link
In response:
The Australian, which even John Howard recently thanked for having been widely supportive of his economic reforms. The same Australian that has run a "war on critical literacy" because it is left-leaning propaganda apparently.
The Courier-Mail which recently featured a big photo of Greens leader Bob Brown with the headline "Lost the plot" before launching into a long explanation of Brown's apparently lunatic ideas.
And all the rest of Murdoch and Packer's media.
Like Channel Nine and Channel Seven, which both featured a story about the Guinean tribe that were like "a trip back to the Stone Age", and apparently practised cannibalism (they don't). I suppose we'll see a story next week about how they swing from the trees and survive purely on bananas.
Channel Ten doesn't even bother to hide their Right wing bias so I'm not going to bother.
While Fairfax does provide a mix of left and right bias, as Rod Quantock put it, the entire armies of Lenin and Stalin would not be enough to provide balance to Nine and Ten.
