Old school introduction to corporate media criticisms
Ok, this is a pretty old school video---reference to global warming that (now that oil prices have spiked and environmentalism is "in") is accepted as crucial fact and also there's mention of some pretty old school tabloid goss. But that's ok. This will give you an overall introduction to the main criticisms of corporate media.
And if you don't know them already, you really should.

So, are there news sources that report the facts or do thier biases influence how news is reported? Is there a newssource that is unbiased?
depends. are there humans that are unbiased?
the best way to get balanced news is to get your news from multiple sources that are obviously from different opinions and/or from third parties.
one of the biggest concerns with corporate media ownership though, is that the conglomerates get so big that they have invested interests in what they are supposed to be investigating. so information that is important to the public knowledge is covered up, unreported or seen as unimportant enough to be addressed until they are so big they can no longer be ignored.
the fewer the news organizations the bigger the reason for concern on this because when companies compete they are eager to point out the flaws in their competitors, creating a more of a balancing system.
