Most papers do have a bias but it used to be pretty well known and as private entities they are quite in their right to have that bias. People usually read the papers whose bias matches their. Where I do agree some care is needed is the more covert bias that can be present in actual news reporting using facts to present a different truth in each. But we don't want censorship nor the inability for papers to write editorials or comment. Overt bias is OK as the purchaser/reader can understand and see that the bias is present.

The BBC shouldn't have that bias in totality as it is paid more generally though individual programmes/presenters may have such a bias.
