Unbiased News or the Holy Grail

A constant complaint from both sides of most issues is the media bias. In far too many cases, I think the complaint is justified. I thought it might be interesting to see the opinions of sources even the relatively homogenous population of this blog.

For me, I have relatively few pages I trust.

  • www.factcheck.org : Seems to hold itself accountable with a listing of sources accompanying each article.
  • news.google.com : I trust Google to be biased towards google news, but if an issue is up here, jumping to the full list of articles and reading from a variety of sources seems like a good procedure.

What biases do you recognize in media, internet or otherwise? Any recommendations? Discouragments?
