Many of them appear to be small and independent but are again paid for by big interests.

I just hope people educate themselves more and read from all sides.
As far as general media bias, there is no better example than the 2008 Presidential Elections. No major new org did much of anything to expose Obama and his BS, but they sure loved to go after Palin- and that is why I hate Katie Couric. Obama said some pretty bad things back in the day (like saying things to the effect of "socialism is a better way to go"), but they didn't care because a gun-loving, freedom idolizing, hockey mom who just happened to govern Alaska put a big shock into the status quo mainstream media had enjoyed earlier. Now she's labeled as an idiot (which she is most certainly not), a gun nut, and ditz. Whoops, media out there plugging people into the most insane BS. Hence my stance: "There is no news in the truth, and no truth in the news."
