One thing I learned while researching this is how hard it can be to see the whole field of the process & effects, especially for people who are in the middle of it themselves.

True to a point, but don't forget how many people think working in a newspaper is just like it is in the movies. There was a pretty interesting article on Politico back in late October about how John McCain's news coverage was so awful, I'll see if I can find it for you.

Like I said, no organization is perfect, but claims of organized, intentional bias just really irritate me, especially when they're baseless. Just like the acronym "MSM"; it's become shorthand for "people I don't believe because they don't tell me I'm right all the time."
