Proving Media Bias

This is somewhat of a unique challenge to fellow RedStaters.  I am currently taking a political science course on the Executive Branch.  Recently the Professor asked us to pen an essay responding to the following statement.

“The media has become too biased (either left or right) and too negative in its reporting on the presidency.”

Even being the political junkie I am, having followed politics on a daily basis for years, I have no way of answering this question in one essay.  To an informed conservative it is like asking if bees make honey.  The whole existence of the media is to promote liberalism and the Democrats.  How can I possibly prove effectively that the media has been unprecedentedly bias towards Obama in the past few years?  They created him from nothing!  What are the five or six best tangible proofs, sources, references,etc. to effectively argue the conservative point of view.

    Remember that he felt a thrill up his leg, forgot Obama was black for a whole hour, and said his job was to promote the Obama administration’s policies. Then start going into some of the things that were never vetted about Obama that would have been vetted about any other candidate. We found out about Bush’s drug use and tons of false accusations against him before he was first elected. The press ignored Obama’s admitted drug use and lifelong communist ties. They falsely accused John McCain of having an affair, while refusing to report on easily proven allegations that John Edwards had a baby with his mistress while his wife was in treatment for cancer. They attacked Sarah Palin for her lack of experience while giving Obama a pass for his lack of experience. They covered up every one of Joe “regular at Katie’s Restaurant” Biden’s gaffes while attacking Palin’s daughters and protecting Chelsea Clinton against criticism when she was actively fundraising for her mom. Over 90% of reporters and editors and news-readers vote Democrat. Of course they are biased. Any objective recounting of facts can draw no other conclusion.
