"The fact that a biased media is fine for you is your business."
Well Outsider, I think I made it clear in my post that the LAST thing I want is a biased media. There are opinion pieces/editorials which, like letters and comment posts, have a point of view. They can be enlightening and make you THINK (and maybe even help you see things a different way), when it's not just slamming and name calling, but rather reasoned arguments backed up with some facts. Then there is just the "straight news" which ought to, as best as possible, just give you the facts of the story (e.g. There was fire fight in Afghanistan yesterday and two people were killed when . . .), that kind of thing. 
"I do not believe that a thinking person gets enough information to formulate an independent opinion when they only hear the one biased side of the story."  
I wholeheartedly agree.
