Frankly, I don't find it that hard to tell when a story is supporting a liberal argument or a conservative one. It used to be a bit harder to tell, but the news keeps getting more and more brazen about it.
When the news shows protesters in the streets and interviews them night after night after night, it's pretty easy to see that the news is giving their side of the story a lot more press time than the majority of the people who support this war and only get a very small blurb. Why should a minority opinion get so much more air time than the majority opinion, about the exact same subject?
I remember during the primaries when a woman reporter said in a very dull tone of voice, and looking very bored, bush won again by a margin of 30%, in such and such a state. Her face then lit up, she smiled, and she said, Gore crushed his competition by getting 51% to 47%.--it was pretty offensive and obvious to anyone who is the least bit objective. 4% is a crushing victory but a 30% margin win isn't anything special? If you can't see things like this as being biased, it is very sad, and I worry for our countries future when we are producing people that can't see it like it is.
