Yes it is! No it isn't!
I've made a bit of fuss here in days gone by about the overwheening liberal bias of the mainstream media. I still think that said bias exists, and that the existence of the bias is to the detriment of the country. That said, a distinction really does need to be made between the news and the editorial opinions of most papers. The former is only somewhat slanted to the left, while the latter is, with a few exceptions, solidly and thoroughly buried at the far end of the left-side of the spectrum.
Instapundit has a particularly telling example, just so tc doesn't think I'm making strawmen again. But I believe it to be representative of the whole rather than an anamoly.

You think you have a biased media. You should try out what passes for supposedly unbiased media up here in soviet Canukistan (Formerly known as Canada) Your left wing media is to the right of ours :(
Rising wages and nearly 3.5 million jobs added since January 2004 (calculating from the numbers presented in the article through July 2005) in the news account, but that translates to lackluster job and wage growth on the editorial page. Definitely agree with you on this one, Nick.
It would be funny if this was the first time for the NY Times. But Brent Bozell, http://www.mediaresearch.org/ , has many more examples.
