Newspapers editors can be biased too, but newspapers list more facts than television news stories. Television is about the advertising that runs between shows, and thus about short sound-bytes designed to keep you from changing the channel. Newspapers don't have formal ratings as part of their programming decisions - they generally aim for the who, what, where, when, and how. Any bias that creeps in is generally less-pronounced. I could make a strong case the ABC new is very liberally biased, but it would miss the point. Sadly, your post is probably relevant because apparently many people do form their opinions by watching televised news.
