I have to agree with you there, nearly every media outlet has a bias, the only variances are really the degrees of variance. I see that you cite the NY and LA Times as being full of spin, and I'm sure you would be quick to say the same about CNN. While, being a liberal, it's my duty here to point out that Fox News is
extremely biased, I'd have to say even moreso that CNN. Looking through Fox News' programming (and I believe that they're logo was your avatar for awhile), the only democrat they even have in there is Alan Colmes, and even then, he has to sit beside Sean Hannity, who is very conservative.
So really, both sides have great amounts of bias and spin in their reports. Thats why I like MSNBC so much, they are the most centered station for the most unbiased news. If you're conservative, watch Scarborough Country, if you're liberal, watch Countdown. And I really prefer Chris Matthews on Hardball, because I can't really tell his political affiliation, he really just grills everyone on his show to get the facts.
PLEASE NOTE: This is not an attack on any individual, or really even any group of individuals. I'm just posting the "facts as I see them" (oxymoron for the topic
)
