I submit that anyone who has attended any state university or college could answer that question easily. The indoctrination begins with the freshman beanie and continues till the mortarboard and tassel ceremony.

Yes, an education does have the tendency to destroy ignorance. So when "conservatism" is based on willful ignorance, it naturally tends to become anti-education. As it has in this country.
Educated people won't wallow in willful ignorance. Nor are they ashamed of that fact.
Some educated people do wallow in wilfull bias and they have too much gall to feel shame!

Yeah, I know, in this country we call them republicans.
Most leftists think there's a right-wing bias in the media. Most right-wingers think there's a left-wing bias in the media.
Doesn't take a genius to figure out why.

"The media" is a big category. I think the entertainment media has a liberal bias. I think the news media has a corporate bias. I think media like Fox 'News', some of MSNBC, and talk radio is just tabloid sensationalism and muckraking pretending to be news and opinion. And basically all of it is about making money. "The Media" isn't about disseminating news, or culture, or even entertainment. It's about doing whatever it takes to get eyes and ears watching the advertisements.
Um, case in point?
Yep. So if you get all your news from one source, you're on the plantation.

That's why I only watch the Daily Show and Colbert Report.
You know that there are a lot of conservatives who actually think Colbert is doing that for straight?
pretending to be opinion?

Yes. I don't think Rush Limbaugh believes a word he says. I think he says whatever will keep people listening. And he's found his audience. So he gives them what they want. I think the same is true of most of these media blowhards.

I truly appreciate how these two shows take the right wing to task. They constantly point out that "the emperor has no clothes" and that is much needed. Though often funny, they can be quite vulgar.
Those things being stated, they are both liberal in many respects--Colbert more so than Stewart. Stewart is a secularist, but comes off as more respectful of religious expression in general (when compared to Colbert). Colbert, who is Catholic (at least he claims to be), tends to vile in his treatment of religion, especially Christianity.
I often torn when I watch these shows--on one hand I thoroughly enjoy how they turn the spotlight onto hypocrisy, especially conservative hypocrisy, but on the other I find the shows almost unwatchable when they use Jesus as a punchline. All in all, Stewart's show is much more well rounded in its treatment of the political spectrum and religion, while Colbert tends to be more extreme.
They are both contemptible, vulgar, biased and smugly self-righteous.
Fairly typical of extremists of any ilk.
I would serve them both X-Lax laced brownies in an attempt to cleanse the place from whence their thoughts, obviously, arise!

The reason that most major media outlets are so overwhelming liberal in their reporting is because we are in the last times before the "End of Days".
This short explanation from Hal Lindsey should explain things easily.
"There is an all-out assault on Biblical marriage and the traditional family in our generation? It was the ‘free-love’ movement of the sixties when war was first declared on the value of sexual purity in the United States. Communal living was in vogue, college campuses initiated new open dorm policies, the plague of venereal disease was spreading and number of unplanned pregnancies began to escalate. Something had to be done, so ‘sex education,’ including condom distribution, was introduced into many public schools, taught by teachers, many of whom had personally participated in the sexual revolution. Then the Supreme Court stepped up and imposed a humanistic solution to the growing problem of unwanted pregnancies, passing Roe v. Wade on January 22, 1973, to make abortion legal as an alternative form of birth control. Since then, we have performed in- womb executions, equivalent in number to one third of the population of the United States. Now, the due bill is coming in with the economic reality that there are not/will not be enough employed workers in the workplace to perpetuate the Social Security system for the growing population of baby boomer retirees! The impact on families is being felt already, a prelude to what is looming on the horizon."

Here is a little more of the information from Hal Linsey.
"With the rejection of Biblical absolutes [which are from God for our protection and preservation] the wheels began to come off. The baggage of sexual regret being carried into marriages began to take its toll in the form of a growing number of divorces. Pornography has gained acceptance, moving our society from ‘Playboy’ magazine to hardcore Internet porn as a multi-billion dollar industry. Skyrocketing statistics on child abuse and victimization, the proliferation of sexual predators with offenders living in virtually every neighborhood, the scandalous sexual exposes of the entertainment, sports, business and political ‘glitterati,’ as well as high profile ‘televangelists’ and the priestly clergy, have rapidly taken us down a path of self-destruction."

Here is the last part of the Hal Linsey information.
"Now, our Vice-President and President have come out, in the same week, with statements of unqualified support of same-sex marriage. So, the wall of protection around Biblical marriage has officially been breached. And, I predict that we will be overrun in the years ahead with the barbaric hoard of spin-off consequences in the lives of real people. The patience and tolerance of our Holy God has been stretched to the breaking point. His judgment will be inescapable. God’s wrath against sin is built into the human system. We have never been here before as a nation. The protection of the innocent unborn has been eliminated by the state. The protection of Biblical marriage and the traditional family has been eradicated by the state. As a pastor, I will witness the carnage up close and personal. As a father and grandfather, I am deeply concerned about the nation my children and grandchildren will inherit and the price they will have to pay for the sins of my generation. More than ever before in my lifetime, I identify with the closing prayer of Revelation 22:20-21, “He who testifies to these things says, ‘Yes, I am coming soon.’ Amen. Come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.”

"Most" media outlets? Which? TV? Print? Radio? All?
Which continent and which country?
What is "overwhelming"?
What is "liberal"?
When reporting on what?
The generic answer is: depends.
If a TV station presents on the news that Sikhs are rattled about the killing of people of the same faith in Wisconsin earlier this year I maintain it's factual and not liberal.
If they show how Muslims fire rockets at a US military base in Afghanistan it is factual, not liberal.
If they show Catholic and atheist sponsored billboards I would not call it liberal.
So there remain 2 instances where I could possibly imagine someone here consider media reports being liberal is when it comes to politics or religion, both areas with many promises and equally little results.
Here in the Middle East the papers and the TV stations report neutrally about the US and Iran and factually about events in the region.
I thought Hal Lindsey, after his "The Sky is Falling!" books made him rich, retired somewhere to enjoy the money of the suckers who were dumb enough to believe him.
