The press has always leaned strongly left, and based on my career in that business I'd say the 85% figure may be a couple of ticks low.
It attracts people who want to change the world, ideological activists who really aren't interested in providing facts that may conflict with their world view. To varying degrees, they're on a mission. Objectivity is not a priority.
Fortunately -- and I have to thank Limbaugh for this -- they have been exposed and now most people know what's going on. Kind of like Political Correctness -- not coincidentally perpetrated by the same end of the spectrum -- which is now getting its much-overdo pushback.
And as for those who claim the press isn't clearly biased... well, when you're sitting on your own 5 yard line, someone who's on your 30 yard line looks like they could be at mid field.

I don't debate that the press is biased, but it's because the GOP has gone so absolutely batshit insane.
24% of Republicans apparently think that Obama is the Anti-Christ. No, seriously, they asked this question in a poll and that was the answer they got. 45% think he was born in Kenya...

And yeah, guys like Limbaugh are largely responsible for stoking this kind of nonsense.
