There is no such thing as unbiased news coverage.

Forgot your sarcasm tag? That is a blatantly false statement.
The media outlet or an aggregator picks the stories they will run and the stories they refuse to cover.
Many times the stories the media does publish are slanted.
Even when the stories are accurate, the headlines sometimes misrepresent the facts.

There is ALWAYS bias in news coverage. Just the selection of stories to cover is going to betray a bias: it says what you believe is important versus what is not.

For example, do you think that the decision by ABC to interview Newt’s ex-wife over say someone who has knowledge of obama’s dealings with bill ayers betrays a bias? I do.

Drudge is a news aggregator. He is going to post what is important to him. He obviously thinks Newt is a poor choice of candidate. I happen to agree with him on that point. He also seems to favor mitt romney or favor stories written by people who do favor mitt romney. I DO NOT agree with him on that.
