I don't think the media shoud be unbiased but they should be clear about what their biases are. You learn so much more when someone is writing from a point of view, it gives you hints of how people formed the ideas they believe. I usually try to triangulate between everybody's propaganda. Also I read the Economist and listen to the BBC world service and Minnesota Public Radio.
Among thinking Americans of all political persuasions there seems to be an attraction to the British media. Questions of ideology aside, much of the mainstream media in the US simply aren't that good at their jobs. The few times I witnessed events that were covered in the newspaper, or was interviewed; I was later astounded by what I read.
