> there IS no left wing media in the US as far as I can tell.

I think you and I disagree significantly on this foundational fact to the point where there's no use debating downstream arguments.

I see the media fully supporting Clinton while bashing Trump. That's left wing bias in my mind (regardless of my support of either candidate). Once you include online media, the left leaning bias is even more significant. Twitter in particular (I know they're not discussed in the OP) have been very aggressive about stamping out right wing speech.

It's more "establishment media" than "left-wing media", though. The idea that Clinton is left-wing is just amusing, nothing more than an US peculiarity. The only leftish party the US seems to have left is the Green, and the mainstream media certainly doesn't promote them.
"I see the media fully supporting Clinton while bashing Trump. That's left wing bias in my mind"

Anyone who thinks Clinton is left wing is just totally out of touch with reality.

I wish you had clearly stated your rather extremist views up front. Would have saved a lot of time.
