I get my news from a variety of places. The above statement, however, is false and serves to perpetuate the myth of an overarching liberal bias in the media. In fact, wonderwench picked this claim up and ran with it.

The reality of the situation, though, is that there are 5 major newspaper sources in the US: the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, and the Christian Science Monitor.

2 of those could be said to have a liberal bias: both Times.

2 of those could be said to have a conservative bias: the Post and the WSJ.

I haven't read enough of the CSM to make a claim about their ideological leanings, but clearly the statement that nearly every major newspaper is left leaning is inaccurate.
