If you really want to be informed... you have to watch The Daily and Colbert Report shows.
Despite the host's personal biases.... they will equally ridicule ANY and ALL stupidity, regardless of party.
And am I, as a Brit, alone in the impression that the BBC is actually pretty even-handed?
does it really matter if the news sources available are biased so long as the biases sum to neutrality?
Well, maybe, since the even BBC disagrees with you...
We are biased, admit the stars of BBC News | the Daily Mail
Don't like that source? Google "bbc bias" and read your fill.
It matters hugely if the organization falsely represents itself as "just the facts, ma'am" while selectively promoting and repressing stories to fit a political agenda. Some people actually still believe that to be the case.
I'd say if an organization has a left or right wing tilt that's just fine. If I read The Nation I know I'm getting lefties. If I read National Review I know I'm getting righties. They're both honest about what they produce. But there are still, amazingly, people out there reading Time and Newsweek who think they're getting unbiased journalism. That is, at best, unethical.
Yeah, the New York Times is Hell bent on destroying the 'Mericuhn way of life. You betcha.
....anyone else feel these bulletpoints sound a bit....well....biased?

.....aaaaahh, 'Mericuhn'....I get it now!
speaking of the NYT, is it still published by the arch-c*nt Murdoch? Or was that the New York Post?
That man scares me. I'm increasingly aware just how much of the planet he owns. Ever see that Bond villain played by Jonathan Pryce? Didn't he have an oriental wife too? Something in that....

Beets and Cheese Whiz: The Media Research Center is NOT an unbiased group.

Oh, and don't forget to subscribe to the Times Watch Log. Yeah, the New York Times is Hell bent on destroying the 'Mericuhn way of life. You betcha. It's in the paper's original charter to do so. Plus, there's that secret hand shake thing everyone at the NYT must do. Gawd have mercy!
EDIT: Oh, yeah, and National Public Radio (NPR) is well known for being nothing but a bunch of commie loving Nancy Boys (and girls). The temerity!
