Steven, you don't really see that Sidney paper as non-biased do you? The condescension wreaks throughout this report.

Almost each article is filled with the same sort of bias which pervades the U.S. mainstream press.

Nothing wrong with having a bias, as long as one recognizes it and balances it with other sources of information. Sometimes reading extreme bias on both sides of an issue can be thought provoking.

By the way, I don't believe those articles from from the New America were a rant. I thought they were thought provoking and interesting. Definitely with a particular bias, but what doesn't have a bias today. Can you describe in the article what was particularly misleading? Or can you point to a specific point they made to support your contention of it being nothing more than a "rant"?

The way a news story is written can be just as biased as the editorial page on certain publications.

What I find most insulting with regard to media bias is the U.S. mainstream press reporters contention they're without bias. At least most of the conservatives sites I visit are honest about their bias.
