While I agree that it is shameful the way the media chooses to report, I don't think anyone is surprised by the bias. Hell, they don't try and hide it and claim objectivity anymore. Their stance is mmore of a "What are you going to do about it?" type thing.
I would call them state run media, but they only report news for consumption by half of the state.
And if you are CNN, that is 1/1024th of the state. Or less.
