The particular biases of the media do not really affect the thinking individuals in our society, as they are easily spotted and properly noted in our minds.

Since you're probably more intelligent than the average schmo, as are most of the posters on this forum, the bias, regardless of which way it is, does not particularly affect us.

History has proven however that propaganda can be a very powerful tool, as there are many people in our world who are not deep thinkers and tend to be more sheep-like, believing what they think they "should" ("should" coming from their parents, peers, their pastor/priest/religious leader, and at times media).

This study rated the ACLU as slightly conservitive (which is accurate),

"Center for Responsive Politics, a group whose primary purpose is the maintenance of databases on political contributions, scored a 66.9, making it highly "liberal."

and

"Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments, a defense policy think tank whose board of directors is currently chaired by former Representative Dave McCurdy (D-OK), scored a 33.9, making it more "conservative" than AEI and than the National Taxpayers Union."
