I usually just get my Internet news off of Yahoo (which comes from a variety of sources, such as AP, Reuters, etc.).
On the boob tube, PBS' Newshour is okay, though sometimes it can drone on and on, and its "analysis" is a give-and-take between a liberal (Mark Shields) and a neocon (David Brooks). I do watch some of the network news, but of course I automatically assume it's all biased. I never watch Fox News unless I want to lose my lunch. The bias is extraordinary and so transparent, it's insulting.
It isn't just those reporting the news we should watch for bias, though. Keep in mind that very little "investigative journalism" is done anymore, and the media will generally uncritically report what the government or other sources tell it. After the Gulf of Tonkin, Operation Northwoods, and Gulf War II, I don't believe anything the US government says anymore. I assume it's a lie until proven otherwise.
In any case, they have no business calling themselves "fair and balanced" if they don't report the news without bias, regardless of any personal feelings.
Fox has ALWAYS been biased against Paul because owner Rupert Murdoch is a hardcore neocon. It's just that simple, and that's all I have to say about it.

I thought that incident happened after Fox decided to exclude Paul from their pre-NH primary debate?Manedwolf said:If representatives of someone all but attacked one of your employees, would you be eager to help the person they represent?
After the Manchester incident with the crazed Paulian mob chasing Hannity, I'm surprised they give him any coverage at all.
The Paulians did that to themselves.
