First person I remember saying that was Stephen Colbert circa 2008.
Yep. It was common at the time for people to notice that the media had a "liberal" bias. Colbert made a joke out of it, basically saying that those who blamed the media for the bias were out of touch with reality.
Yeah, that was my first time hearing it, too. At the time Colbert, playing a parody of “conservative” commentator Bill O’Reilly on Fox News, meant it as a sardonic joke. Basically the schtick was Colbert was playing a conservative guy that thought he was smart, saying things that sounded smart, but really nonsensical. (Colbert would then later go on to prove he really was that kind of person!)
The leftists, of course, ran with it as a rallying cry.
