Media bullying is aggressive bias by the media in the attempt to influence the outcome of an event. The event can be an election, an expected statement by an individual, or even a sports contest.

Examples of media bullying include:

trying to force Hillary Clinton to pull out of the Democratic primary
sex abuse in public schools is worse than in religious institutions, yet the media constantly bullies religious (especially Catholic) officials about it
the media bullies the competitors of Tiger Woods in every major golf contest
the media bullies Paris Hilton as dumb, but she's no dumber than other Hollywood figures
