No I don't think I mean that.

What I think I mean is that...umm... I'm going to struggle to get this across eloquently, but I'll try.

Lets assume they are liberal in general. The average "news" article (ie, not commentary or opinion, in which bias is ok) will probably be a pretty fair reflection of the facts. This is what you want and what I want.

The major criticism of Bozell (I've looked at his website) is that it is in the emphasis on certain stories and omission of others that the problem lies.

This might be true. What I believe is that it can still be true even if the journalists are attempting to be unbiased. Why so? The simplest way I can think to describe it would be to refer to what I call "centre" - ie, between left and right ---> I don't think I'm far away. Mulholland would also probably not consider himself that far from centre. Our individual definitions of "centre" are probably miles apart.

So I guess what I mean is that journalists could well believe that they are presenting a balanced view.

Besides, given there are right wing media outlets out there, why isn't there an attack on them (Fox News, plus plenty of options outside the US).
