Show me clear bias by ABC, CNN, NBC, CBS and others towards the left.
Your the one that said Fox news had right-wing bias, not me. I ask for proof and you didn't give.
As for you link.

1. GWB's military record was never investigated by any media in any detail, and thanks to, I grant you, a serious cluster **** by CBS and Dan Rather, the whole issue was basicly taboo. 2.Now was this cluster **** based on bias by CBS and Dan Rather against GWB or wanting to get out the story before others? Considering that CBS has no clear policy to favor the democrats, then I must conclude that either Dan Rather is biased or plain old stupid enough not to check sources as getting out the story took priority.
1. Define what you mean by "not in any detail".
2. lol, any proof of this speculation? The guy was a journalist for YEARS and was an ANCHORMAN for CBS. How the hell did he get that far by being stupid?

However that does not mean bias.. in fact I would claim, NOT investigating the obvious issues with his record, is in fact right wing bias by the media.. or fear of repercussion by the authorities.

Again, show us where the clear obvious left wing bias is in the mass media in the US. Give us examples, since you and others are the ones ranting about how left wing the US media world is.

Is there examples where a major news organisation has promoted the Democrats over Republicans or openly admitted favor for the left? Or examples where presenters have given easy questions to Democrats, but hounded Republicans?

Show us the examples.
Openly admitted? Isn't that like asking the mafia members to admit being in the mafia? Of COURSE they are not going to admit it.

ah yes, Hey, you Americans out there reading this thread, how does the newsline sound: "Random EU-supporting guy debunks liberal-bias in media!". Do you think maddox's insult "detective dip****" would apply here?

so, I can't give you examples. Not because there aren't any examples, but because you won't accept examples. Any example I give short of "We admit to having liberal bias"(which is like a mafia member claiming to be in the mafia, how likely is that?) is not going to work with you. You don't want statistics, you don't want numbers, and you don't want polls. I don't what universe you live in but, in my world, we call that "evidence". However, since you do want admittance, here is one person who admitted to bias WHILE he was in the news, and left afterward.
