I never meant to suggest that Time Magazine or any of the other sources I mentioned were unbiased. I just listed them as sources of information readily accessable to Americans. ALL news sources have some sort of bias. I don't think it would be possible to be completely unbiased.
I'm not sure that corporate ownership is really an issue. Most owners of media are conservative, while most journalists lean toward liberal. With the exception of Fox News, there is little evidence that management dictates to journalists what stories to cover, not cover or how to cover them. Yes there are excpetions, such as the events from the film "The Insider," but they are rare exception.
