Your reasons, please.
I think they are definitely biased. They praise the left and bash the right.

92% of employees of traditional media (TV, newspaper, magazine, etc.) voted for Gore and Kerry. Yes it's biased.
I don't think it is a conspiracy. Just that people tend to hire people that think like themselves.

The media is very biased. Just today, in the Wall Street Journal of all places, there is an article on Immigration. Joesph Turner is being interviewed as a grass roots person against illegal immigration. He continually refers to the law, illegal aliens and criminals but when the Journal does the recap analysis they jump to the terms migrants and undocumented workers.
They do this on every topic and insert their biased.

The are most definitely biased. You read just about any title or story and there will be biased and opinion until you get to the last paragraph where something related to the facts will be located. They apparently know most readers stop after the first 2 paragraphs or talking points.

They're biased to the right. ABC recently joined Fox and a growing list of other broadcasters that pander to the right. I've never seen anyone name even one on-air personality who's as far to the left as Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Bill O'Reilly, and Sean Hannity are to the right.

Everyone bring bias to what ever they do. Some work harder to also bring opposing views to the for front as well. Rarely do either see attempt to rationally explain their side. They all seem to think their side is self evident.
When i was taking classes in English they rarely brought to the for front that one could say the same thing and by ones choice of works spin it to say 2 opposing views. Example short cut and being efficient.

Some are biased one way, and some are biased the other way. Haven't you heard of Fox (Faux) News? It's the program conservatives tune into to listen to the rumors which make them happy.

Uh, yeah. some do try to give both sides, but its hard especially on a talk show. BUT there are enough view points out there that if you surf your media providers, you will ultimately end up with many sides of the argument to choose from.

Yes. Because the government really controls what news is broadcast. The media was also leaning tword the war in the beginning, now that the government has seen their mistake, they are trying to reslove their slumping popularity by swinging the other way on the issue, giving the general public what they think they want to hear.

Everyone is biased to one cause or another, to suggest that the reporters and editors don't color their reports is absolutely laughable. Whether they be Conservative in bent, or Liberal, all reporters and editors are biased. It's human nature.
