That's not as true as it used to be.
Journalists for the most part are very liberal, for the same reason most rich people are conservative (its self serving, rich people vote for lower taxes and journalists want liberal judges and free speech laws that will let them print anything about anybody)
But "the media" is now mostly owned by big corporations, whose own interests tend to lean to the right side of the political spectrum, so I think there's a constant tug of war behind the scenes between the journalists and management and most of what you get from the big media outlets these days is fairly moderate.
