Just about anyone at any time will claim that the media is biased when it publishes or broadcasts something with which he disagrees. There are many outlets, most established in the last 20 years or so, that were founded to put out a particular point of view, either right or left. These include Fox News, MSNBC, Current and the Examiner. The mainstream media remains mainstream--too moderate to please either extreme of the political spectrum.
However, attacks on the mainstream media are pretty much launched by the right, and I would say that the right wing audience is far more close-minded than the left. The extremes on both sides are entirely close-minded.
Poke around in the Pew Foundation website for a while and you will see plenty to back this up. There is also quite a bit on Poynter.
