I can personally remember the allegations of a liberal media during the Clinton Administration, and I bet whatever triggers them was around for longer than that.
I definitely don't think that any perceived liberal bias in the media is an effect of the Bush administration. It may be that one has more opportunity to level the charge in our current times, but if anything, I think that reporting tends to sour on presidents as their administrations progress.
The other thing is that it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to read hard evidence that media members as a whole hold liberal beliefs - just look at where they come from and where they tend to work. I'm not at all convinced that this is mirrored by a distortion in their presentation of information. I do believe that news presentation goes to where the bosses think the money will be, which isn't a liberal or conservative issue.
