I do know people in the business, and my certainty of non-bias is not at the level it once was. The success of Fox News and sites like HuffPo have skewed the entire landscape of journalism. Even the AP Wire reflects bias in their articles, especially the headlines, although there is no consistence in terms of which side they are biased toward. The uproar over NPR started when Soros offered a huge contribution to hire journalists, which the bobbleheads immediately decried as a attempt to inject liberal bias into the media. In truth, they just don't want the competition, although I doubt Soros' motives were pure. I suspect Murdoch funding behind the anti-NPR campaign, although that is just my opinion and at this point I have no evidence.
