At least with places like Mediamatters.org (which actually goes after all major news outlets) there is more than often links to prove the bias.
Yes, I mean actual responses from journalist themselves; surveys and numerous listed studies and polls are “hardly any evidence” at all. You seem to have not read anything at the site. Choosing instead to offer up a rationalized dismissal to the very answers you claim to want to see. And in the same breath, as you pretend not too see the piles of correlated data and surveys of actual working journalist over the last twenty years, you offer up Media Matters to buttress your willing ignorance.

Just on the cover page to the website, you are offered links to pages and pages of cited and quoted sources, studies and more than a few “admissions” by major players in the media. Yet this to you, is “interesting stories”?

Example: A 2004 poll by the Pew Research Center for The People & The Press found five times more journalists described themselves as “liberal” as said they were “conservative.”

Your "thoughtful" answer? Interesting “stories” mumble mumble Media Matters, mumble mumble much of this “exposing” is basically media bashing……………mumble mumble………….Media Matters…………..mumble mumble………….Fox News biased….brain fart……………mumble mumble.

My God what a truly pathetic partisan hack you really are.
