Our media shows it's bias towards or against candidates by the way it reports on stories. Take the recent news about Presidential candidate Ron Paul raising $8.1 million since November 1. It states:

Claims by Paul's campaign that it has raised $8.1 million in November, cannot be verified by CNN until fourth quarter reports are filed with the Federal Election Commission on December 31.

Dr. Paul's campaign raised a few eyebrows in Washington last week when it announced that it had raised $4.2 million in just 24 hours, on November 5. Since that announcement, the campaign has received another $1 million in donations online, his campaign announced Tuesday.

Why would his campaign lie about that? The information will be accessible to the public so it would be rather stupid to make claims that could not be proven and the media would be all over that as a story if it were not true...
