Bias doesn't mean something is wrong.
It just means it's biased, and you have to check it's facts, logic, and conclusions to see if they're wrong.
Like, if I see an article from a right biased source, I have to check it's facts, logic, and conclusion to see if they're flawed, and in what way.
I should do the same for a left biased source, but I probably don't do so enough.
The problem is that if I spent the time necessary to confirm the facts, logic, and conclusions of every article I read, I'd have no time to do anything else.
Bias in the news media is always wrong. I'm talking about the straight news not opinion shows like Hannity and Maddow. If you've ever listened to the hourly news on NPR you know what I mean.
