Is the media biased - ABC, NBC?

9/5 Why was there not a mention of the New York Times article that Charles Rangel (Democrat New York) Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee of not paying taxes (for 10 or more years?) on Dominican Republic property?

Ok, I'm totally confused. You talk here about NBC being biased and yet in a later post you say MSNBC is biased and put a link to an article that says,"MSNBC is replacing Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews as co-anchors of political night coverage with David Gregory, and will use the two newsmen as commentators.

The change reflects tensions between the freewheeling, opinionated MSNBC and the impartial newsgatherers at NBC News."

The "Is the media biased" series is a collection of possible biased statements. David Gregory may also be biased, just not as much, or as overtly as Olbermann (I doubt anyone is as biased as him). Sometimes bias is overt, sometimes subtle, and sometimes the person isn't even aware his bias is slipping through. Main stream media (versus commentators) say they don't let their bias affect their stories.
