They all have one goal, to make money through entertainment. That's it. Never would they not run a story with large public interest because "there are more important issues".
I agree 100%. I've seen polls that show the majority of conservatives get their news from cable news (mostly Fox), and that Fox leads among uneducated viewers.

More young people get their news online than watch cable news, and more liberals get their news online than conservatives.

As far as print media, more liberals read newspapers than conservatives.

Look at the Katie Couric interview with Palin where she asked that gotcha question "what do you read?" All Palin had to do was name one single newspaper (NY Times, USA Today, Washington Post, WSJ, etc) and she couldn't do it.
