I agree. It's called confirmation bias. It's the main reason I don't watch any MSM or FOX, etc anymore. I prefer to think for myself. Usually the truth is somewhere between what the MSM and what Fox, etc reports. I wish there was one station that just reported facts and offered no opinion. Of course, that station/show would probably fail.

The Wall Street Journal is the best of the newspapers. It obviously does have a pro-business bias, but its readership actually leans slightly Democratic, so they really can't be partisan.
