15 things everyone would know if there were a liberal media

Promoted from diaries by Susan Gardner.
Reince Priebus (and apparently many others) still thinks there's a liberal media.
While I share Reince's frustration with the media, as a liberal, I'd like to go on record and state that the media isn't focusing on issues I care about. They seem to be far more focused on entertainment and making money.
Don't believe me?
If you know anyone who still believes in a "liberal media," here's 15 things everyone would know if there really were a "liberal media" (inspired by Jeff Bezos' purchase of The Washington Post):
1. Where the jobs went.
. ...
2. Upward wealth redistribution and/or inequality.
. ...
3. ALEC
. ...
4. The number of people in prison.
. ...
5. The number of black people in prison.
