Bonus question: If the media is liberal why aren't they all over this?
Answer
No blatant violation of International law and an example how morally bankrupt capitalism is.
Capitalism, and the imperialist system that develops upon its economic foundations, is the main cause of human poverty, exploitation, violence and suffering in the modern world. As a system of socio-economic organization, capitalism long ago exhausted its historically progressive role. The blood-drenched history of the twentieth century â with its two world wars, innumerable âlocalâ conflicts, the nightmare of Nazism and other forms of military-police dictatorship, eruptions of genocide and communal pogroms â is an unanswerable indictment of the capitalist system. The number of victims claimed by capitalist-inspired violence runs into the hundreds of millions. And this figure does not include the consignment of the peoples of entire continents to unrelenting poverty, with all its attendant miseries.

Bonus Q: Because the liberal media is only a myth. There's no such thing.
The Liberal Media myth is a propaganda tool employed by conservative radio hosts, columnists and pundits as a convenient excuse why after 20 years their ideology has failed to convince the public at large, and as a memetic inoculation of the public against the evidence that the media bias is in fact a conservative one.
Not only does the liberal media claim have no basis in fact, it also does not make sense considering the issues of media ownership and influence of advertisers. Most media outlets are owned by a handful of conservative corporations and individuals, and funded by usually economically conservative advertisers who have no need for an educated, alert, independent and critical citizenry. What they need is a dumb, bored, cynical and apathetic public that has abandoned all critical faculties and is easily distracted by celebrity gossip and mindless sports games. A public that will believe anything it is told, or nothing at all, which amounts to the same end result. This pro-corporate conservative bias of the media is well-documented and shows itself in consistent under-reporting or ignoring of any information that would lead people to question the fundamental status quo.

What is "liberal" about media that all play the same crappy Muzak and all have the same kind of "programming"?
Q. Sounds pretty fugging lame, backward, stiff-necked, craporate, and conservative to me.
Biased? Well yeah, duh! What corporate conglomerate wouldn't be biased against the truth that shows the crimes of their fellow corporate conglomerates and the Republicans and conservative Democrats they own in a bad light?
