News is no longer unbiased, not that I'm totally convinced it ever was fair and balanced. On the plus side, at least today's media doesn't even pretend to be unbiased. Facts are hidden if it might cause a news article to go in a different direction than the message the reporter and editor want. Some stories never see the light of day. And so on and so forth. Best way to get the news is go to at least three sources -- one that shares your point of view, one diametrically opposed to your point of view and foreign source that is as neutral as possible. Read, listen, watch all three versions. The facts reported by all three are probably the true facts. The rest are up for grabs.
