Why is the news so biased?

Content: Biased relative to whose perspective? I would think that all news, being written by human beings, is biased. But “…. so biased” ? One possibility is that somebody’s trusted sources are outside of the main stream and, therefore, make main stream sources appear more biased than they are. In choosing my own sources, I put a lot of stock in the chart below. .. .. I stick with sources in the green and yellow rectangles while avoiding anything in the “Hyper…” columns. Also, I try to balance sources. e.g. I enjoy reading The New Yorker Magazine, which has a left-leaning bias - which I try to counter by subscribing to The Economist. Likewise, I make a concious effort to watch Firing Line to balance out Meet The Press and Washington Week.
