Just because it shares our biases doesn't mean we don't recognize that it IS biased. Would any two members of the MSM do the same? Would they even understand the principle at work here? That's why I increasingly trust bloggers more than the dinosaur media... we acknowledge our point of view from the outset.

As much as I counsel people against them, the anti-RAL bias in the wikipedia entry is astonishing. Tom, try this one on:
