Liberal media? Check out this favourability chart of 2012 presidential contenders.

Next time someone complains about 'liberal media', point them to this chart:

Only the inexorable Newt Gingrich fares barely less well than Barack Obama in Negative ratings. But nobody comes close to Obama's lack of positive coverage.

“His coverage has been substantially more negative in every one of the last 23 weeks of the last five months — even the week that Bin Laden was killed,” Tom Rosenstiel, director of the Project for Excellence in Journalism, said of the president’s treatment in the media compared with that of the GOP field.

Then consider this, Canadian news coverage is far more right wing friendly than the US. Sobering thought, indeed.
