Quantifiable study of media bias

And yet Republicans keep getting elected...

But considering the "home Base" of these media outlets seems squarly in the blue part of the map, I have to wonder how their bias compares to the norm of the community they are based in - do they reflect their community, or are they more liberal, or more conservative?

Well, considering the immense distrust of the media, I don't find that odd at all.

But does that make media bias irrelevent?

Answering my own question, I tend to think it is. I only wish all media outlets would drop the claim of being "objective" and have the wherewithall to say, "these are my biases." At least then you would have a clear idea on how to read them. But then again, I think people pretty much know what outelts are more liberal and which are more conservative and already filter the news accordingly.
