Honestly I don't really care about the usual liberal anti-corporate harping that always happens in these situations. While it may or may not have merit, it just isn't productive from a political sense. I can't help but think of all of the lazy-ass stoners I know that talk about how the government and big business is out to rule the world. Sure it might be fine for rallying the like-minded troops around the cause but aside from that it's not going to convince anyone of anything.

That said, any site with the following banner is not unbiased.



Aside from this glaringly obvious indication of bias, the article is clearly an editorial and clearly takes one side of an issue. That in and of itself is bias. While it may be relatively calm and non-sensationalist in its execution, its very existence relies solely on the fact that it is biased.

Funny how the only "non-liberal" media outlets are a bunch of small publications and websites, while supposed "radically liberal" outlets such as The Washington Post and The New York Times enjoy massive circulation. Maybe the right is still bitter about Nixon?
