I'd say that goes both ways. Yes, there are conservative media out there (you listed them), but the media as a whole is largely liberal. I think the biggest problem is that most Americans base their political beliefs and opinions on little soundbites they hear on televised news. Yeah, many don't have time to actually read the paper, let alone several different new sources. But most televised news programs come from liberal-minded producers and talent, and that's where the majority of people get their information.

BTW, I work as a director/technical director in television (I'm doing Capital Report at MSNBC tonight), but I won't go so far as to say I'm an expert on information!
