The media isn't biased as much as you think. It's anti-confrontational, which means stories about things people are upset about often get minified. However, the Washington Times, which you linked to, is fantastically biased. It's owned by the Unification Church, and has been repeatedly criticized for its pro-Moon stance. If you want to know what's really happening, don't read the washington times.

Your conservative friend will tell you the Washington Times is more fact-based and the New York Times is heavily biased. Your liberal friend will tell you the New York Times is more fact-based and the Washington Times is heavily biased.
Your first conclusion might be that one of your friends (whichever one whose beliefs oppose yours more) is insane or uneducated on what you know is true.
The more likely conclusion, however, is that each of these papers weaves heavy amounts of opinion, spin, and perspective on the "facts" it conveys, and that opinion and spin is invisible to those who share the same biases, while being conspicuous and grating to those who do not.
