The real problem is our own lust for Confirmation Bias. In other words, the problem is not media bias, but our own well nurtured, and carefully tended bias! This is what really depresses me, that Homo Sapiens, on an individual basis, is losing its capacity to think clearly and logically. FWIW, I find the New York Times as biased in its approach as Fox News, just at different ends of the political spectrum.......
