Not to put words in Lerk's mouth, but yes.
Every news source has a bias. How that bias plays out depends on where you are relative to the particular bias. This is one of the fundamental reasons why one should not rely on any one news source.
I, for example, primarily use the CNN website because I like the amount of information and the layout. I do not pretend that it doesn't have a bias. I also listen to NPR (morning edition and ATC). In between Fox and CNN, NPR is particularly balanced.
I also like the interplay between the Guardian and the Telegraph. Between the two, I find good reporting. Each has a bias, though.
But I tend toward the liberal side more often than not, so take that as a reference point.
