In fact, MSNBC used to play the balanced card, as almost all media outlets do, but only recently became open about their liberal bias.

Guys like O'Reilly, Hannity and Beck are very open about their political biases.

Point here: bias distorts the truth, and almost every source is guilty of having an agenda. That's why it's important to gather as much truth and detail as possible to draw conclusions that are well informed.
Because its attempting to hide the bias. And its not about effecting how much bias there is, but how much bias is perceived. If you're saying a network is "Fair & Balanced" - then it should be. But even you're saying no one can be bias free.
