No, they aren't. People who develop this false equivalency aren't helping matters much either as it excuses bad behavior which is so icy more evident on one side of the argument. The media has always had a liberal bias, in the sense of John Locke liberalism, because they were educated and had experiential learning on their side. Getting out of the studio or newsroom and actually seeing both sides of an issue first hand informed their perspective and gave the appearance of bias to some. I will also point out that no one went out of their way to create one side of the media to have a particular bias. One developed organically through experience, and the other was created by a small group of individuals with ideological intents. Not the same.
