I argue that the only bias that should exist in media is one towards important stories. Can’t complain when the bias doesn’t favor what you think it should.

I haven't heard them publicly change their mission. And there is no doubt that Iraq is important. None at all. So they should cover it.

You argued that the bias is a good thing as long as it is obvious where that bias lies. Well, it is obvious that CBS's bias lies with getting more viewers so they get more advertising money. You can't act upset when the media shows bias you don't approve of. Now see, I think this fits more with my sentiment that relevant stories should be reported on, and in general their relevance is obvious.
