And some still believe no bias exists in mainstream journalism, despite example after example...

You rang? <g>

Once again I challenge your example. Please tell me where the bias is in this.

<<Diane Sawyer: “I read this morning that he’s [Saddam Hussein] also said the love that the Iraqis have for him is so much greater than anything Americans feel for their President because he’s been loved for 35 years, he says, the whole 35 years.”
Dan Harris in Baghdad: “He is one to point out quite frequently that he is part of a historical trend in this country of restoring Iraq to its greatness, its historical greatness. He points out frequently that he was elected with a hundred percent margin recently.”>>

Is there something in there you think is untrue?

Is there something in there that your think would appear favorable to Saddam when heard by an American audience?

Just what is your problem with it?

Most people, seems to me, would hear that and either mutter "the guy must be deranged" or question whether he's deranged or posturing. Most people wouldn't hear that and say, "look, another example of media bias."
