I've known a few reporters, and they don't think they are biased. To a person, they felt their own personal political viewpoints were middle-of-the-road, and even if they weren't they were professional enough not to let personal biases influence their reporting.

And to a person, they thought that Bush, and more importantly Cheney, were criminals who should be put in jail.

They don't say too much about Zero these days, though...

The media types live in a bubble and only associate with each other. Plus they are locked in a herd.

Narcissists like to think they are in the center of everything. Nixon's Watergate scandal transformed news reporting from a blue collar vocation to one attracting narcissists looking for fame. If you look at newspapers from before Nixon, very few articles have the reporter's name listed and personal opinions stayed out of it. Now the reporter's name is listed right after the title and you can often tell where they stand politically.
