Of course it also depends on your biases. If you're coming from one
perspective, you tend to see all from that particular angle.

I cannot remember the research article specifically (I can dig it up
though) but depending on the person's political bias they tended to
report the media that they agreed with as less biased (think neo-cons
and Fox, or "progressives" and Pacifica) and those media they
perceived as against their beliefs were thought as more biased.
