There doesn't always have to be an automatic "the left does it too," The right, especially the ultra-right that includes most of the Evangelical wing, is not objective or open minded enough to discern facts in media, and sees anything that doesn't gush with agreement as having a "left wing bias." Of course, you can find a few examples, here and there, to use as "proof", sort of like a Biblical prooftext, to support your claim that the entire media has a left wing bias, but virtually any examination of the facts from an unbiased, neutral position, doesn't produce any real evidence to support the claim. What happens, time and time again, is the affirmation that the media, especially the big "left" sources like the New York Times, and the Washington Post, goes out of its way to be fair to all perspectives, and because of the screeching, is doubly fair to the extremist right.
