Andy, without examples to back your case it's more reasonable to judge your claim as the expression of your personal emotional opinion than it is to judge your claim as possibly objectively true.

Since one of the framing strategies of the neocon movement is to frame media outlets that are not neocon as "liberal" and "leftist" without defining those terms, I suspect you are just repeating the frame you have become comfortable with.

Critical thought and framing are not the same thing.

It's not impossible that your emotional claim is correct, that all the big media besides Fox is "liberal-biased", but asserting it is not the same as arguing it.

Maybe doing some research on your end would show that many of the big networks are liberal. Its not just my viewpoint its the viewpoint of many. Think about the concept. Many liberals hate Fox News, why? Because its conservative. Many liberals watch CNN because it conforms more to their view points. I am sure reading a bit on the web on many of the political sites out there would prove to you that this belief is not just my own, but the belief of many and there have been numerous reports of news networks as well as newspapers being biases toward the left wing.

Here are some articles to wet your whistle.

Here is one that says 30+% of the news media is liberal while ony 7 is conservative:

Bernard Goldberg even wrote a book about the liberal bias at CBS, Katie Courac is a known Liberal. I am sure you can do research on this if you really want to know the other side.
