there is bias in all reporting though, and there is always an agenda behind it. Just sometimes we are more accepting of the agenda.
I think its up to us as individuals to treat reporting with the respect/contempt it deserves based on its content.
While i'm not happy with hatred of any type, I do believe the world has become much to politically correct toward certain sensitive subjects, and that forces agendas to be pursued using methods like this. We can't change the way people are, they do have thoughts if they don't agree with something and artificial suppression makes the problem worse, I think.
