I have come to believe that there's less "media bias" than I previously thought. To be sure, there are outliers (aka. Fox & MSNBC) but for the most part, they report stuff in a way that they think is going to make their viewers happy.

On point, it's not fun to read a story called "Cincinnati Dad Gets What He Deserves".
