In this case, those in control of hiring at all of the major media outlets walk while dragging their left hands on the ground. They hire like-minded people, who work their way up, and hire like-minded people. Conservatives have their outlets: Fox News, AM radio. They are routinely smeared by the "established" media--newspapers, television, news magazines.

The simple fact is that there is a relatively small amount of people in control of a lot of the media. This is not a efficient market, and thus not really capitalism. I would characterize the U.S. media more as a collusive oligopoly.
