I just made the following rant on another forum about 2 minutes ago:
I love it when people use The O'Reilly Factor as "proof" that Fox News is biased. Bill O'Reilly overtly projects his views, and his whole show is pretty much "This is what we're talking about, this is what other people have to say, and this is my opinion on it". I think Fox News' actual reporting is quite neutral.
True bias happens when it gets slipped into news stories that are supposed to be objective. A good example was when the LA Times went crazy publishing unfounded rumors about Arnold Schwarzenegger groping women back in the 70s, but said nothing of allegations about Grey Davis shoving women around. Things like THAT are examples of media bias--NOT someone spouting his opinions on a show created for that purpose!
