These two headlines show that there is still media bias. The first is about the Cleveland Bombers who were fed up with the progress the peaceful Occupy protests were making.
Foiled Cleveland bombers planned getaway with box of thumbtacks

In the second article the headline read: Police believe Neo-Nazi killed 4, himself in Arizona

Why weren't the Cleveland Bombers linked to the Occupy Movement like the man involved in a domestic dispute was described as Neo-Nazi right in the headline but nothing to back it up in the article other than they think he had links to the Neo-Nazis.
News papers and the news media should work to give us the facts and not their opinion on the news unless they label and market it that way.

Sensationalism sales news! They are going to put a headline out there that is going to get peoples attention, now whether the facts back that up in the article or not is another subject. It happens whether it is national news or local news. The media is going to embellish the story to get more readers, in turn selling more newspapers, or uping the number of people watching their news show on tv.
