You are correct, I believe. We often don't see bias that is right under our noses.
Case in point, I used to live in Houston, Texas and loved (still do) reading the Chronicle. After I left the area I realized The Chronicle's stories said things differently than the right leaning Houston Post.
Same thing with the N. Y. Times and (I believe it is called) the Washington Times.
Even Reader's Digest has a bias! their's is mostly a "don't rock the boat" stance, but still...
When you get a chance, go to a local library or online and review the headlines for major newspapers and you will soon see some have a very different take on a story than others. If you can archive the Clinton impeachment and stories on Iran Contra, I'll bet you will agree they are all pretty much biased one way or the other.
I do think ABC tries to remain neutral, but not on everything. Same with CBS.
Do I ever read the new York Times? Yes. Do I ever watch Fox News? Yes. But I take them and all other news organizations with a hefty poke of salt.
