Whether they own the bias up front matters.   Lots of news organizations claim to be neutral but are clearly not.   I wish all states their bias so at least it was clear to every reader or viewer.  

I prefer partisan publications because you know where they are coming from and can weigh it accordingly.   That’s why I don’t complain about msnbc.  They own their bias.   And I respect that

But that goes against the consumer's need to lie to himself.  People don't want to admit they believe what they believe because they are biased, nor do they want to say they watch the news they watch because it caters to their biases.  People want to say they believe what they believe because they are right and they watch the news they watch because it agrees with their views BUT is also completely fair and accurate and reliable and right.

That's just the best marketing there.  Welcome to XYZ news, where we tell you what you want to hear, not just because you want to hear it, but because it's the right thing to say.
