This is going to be a very short diary, since the facts speak for themselves. There's a myth that the media leans left - well, maybe individuals who work for corporate media may harbor left-wing thoughts, but hello! - what part of corporate don't you understand? People working in the mainstream media are editorially constrained to cast Republicans and their failed condervative ideologies in the best possible light, no matter what the facts on the ground may be.
Here's a simple example: Dennis Hastert has been much in the news of late, due to recent revelations of his long-term sexual abuse of teenage boys. Here are two recent NYT articles on the subject:

What do these artices have in common? Incredibly, neither identifies Hastert as a Republican! Note that Hastert has been out of poltics since 2007, and eight years is a long time in politics. Your average low-information voter may well have forgotten his political affiliation. Yet there's no reminder of his party in these articles, let alone reminders of how he and his fellow Republicans tried to impeach Bill Clinton for having a sex act performed on him by a consenting (and eager!) adult. Obvious cover-up of Republican sin and Republican hypocrisy, right?
In contrast, every article that mentions Hillary Clinton makes it clear she's a Democrat - even though even someone living under a rock must be aware she's running for the Dem nomination. There's a reason for this explicit call-out of her party affiliation: these articles are all negative - about those manufactured "Clinton scandals" or just a simple transcription of Republican attacks.

And this is the NYT, not the NYPost or Faux News. Your head has to be pretty far up your bottom if you still believe the media is liberal.
Here's the challenge, Kossacks: Can ANYONE find a positive article about Hillary Clinton in the "left-wing" NYT? If so, post any such gems in the Comments.
