GUYS! HELLO!

Whenever the subject of bias in the media comes up, I always labor under the assumption that said bias is unconcious. Given the high esteem, with which journalists hold their profession (hey, someone has to), I consider it unlikely that they would deliberately withhold information from the public. But the consistent failure of the mainstream press to report stories like this begs the question: are they consciously pursuing an agenda? If not, what is wrong with the institution that they don't see this or don't think it worth notifying the public on?
