I agree, and it is more a good thing than a bad thing, IMO. Because every writer will inject his take on the news (sometimes a lot, sometimes maybe just in the descriptions), it's only natural, and I would prefer that over a dry stating of just the facts. Plus, 99% of the stories wouldn't be more than a few sentences without the bias.
It's one reason I do listen to Limbaugh and others. I read fairly Liberal papers (the Plain Dealer, Akron Beacon Journal), prefer MSNBC, NBC or ABC for national news. Limbaugh will point somethings out that I didn't know and I from there do my own research and make my own decisions. Like everyone Limbaugh puts his spin on things but after researching and trying to see both sides I can then decide who is closer to the truth.
I will say I like places like Yahoo or Excite where you have multiple news sources available.
