No, I haven't read Bias, yet. I guess I should add it to my reading list. What does it say, if anything, about the press not reporting what goes on in public schools?

Public schools weren't a specific item.

One of the main points of the book is how the press focuses on stories which fit their worldview, and dismiss as irrelevant the ones that don't. That wasn't particularly news to me (I grew up in DC), but he gave specific insider examples.

I won't call it a great book, but definitely worth reading.
