Let me give you an example of how it is done. Ignore the subject because it really isn't important to this.
A few years ago an article was in a local paper regarding the changing of the Georgia state flag to eliminate the battle flag portion. Said article was roughly 10 paragraphs. Opponents of the old flag / battle flag were given 3 paragraphs to explain their opposition. Proponents of the battle flag were given 2 SENTENCES. The paper could then say it had presented both sides, when in actuality around 1/3 of the article was used to explain a particular view.
This is just one method. It happens all the time. Feel free to link an article if you want.

I will give you another example. CBS news on the radio shares a story about a Supreme Court ruling.
If the ruling is favorable to what would traditionally be a liberal cause, a spokesperson from a liberal advocacy group if normally given time on the air to explain why it is a good ruling.
If the ruling is not favorable to a liberal cause, that same spokesperson would then be given a chance to explain why it is a bad thing.
I am in the vehicle alot and have listened to CBS alot. They have been doing the above for years.

Uh, I've posted over 500 links to left wing media bias on this board. If your memory is not good you can look them up on my history.
