Put that way, it will be unavoidable for these sources to be biased, since their bias is itself an expression of the single-issue publication you referenced and of your worldview. And that elides any granular consideration of how one source may differ on the same issues, or the same issue across many manifestations in the world, or the effect of timing and interaction with other contemporaneous coverage.
