If you watch say CNN or CBS, its biased towards the liberals, then fox news is bias towards republicans. Most news companies in the USA are biased, and also we now have a stupid(imo its stupid) channel called "Al Jazeera America" which i believe comes from Qatar
You'll find that every news source around the globe has some kind of bias, differing in extent and swing. The issue isn't the bias inherent in the mainstream media, its the lack of depth and irrational statements made by the media that propagates views that aren't considerate of other view points, or flat out stupid, like Andrez'.
What is important is being able to recognize the extent of which a news source is biased and being able to digest the information while filtering out the bias.
I don't know if Al Jazeera's American channel is similar to or the exact same as its English service. However, i do know that the aforementioned channel, while slightly left wing biased, engages in strong and factual reporting, albeit the majority of their reporting revolves around the Middle East.
