As I said, if I were an owner of a newspaper or other news outlet, I'd probably want to be charged with bias by all sides simply as a matter of pride and dignity.

Your paper would fail. As much as I would like to read your paper, you wouldn't have anybody to pay for advertising; corporations want somebody with an agenda to advertise in...specifically, an agenda that harmonizes with their own. [/b][/quote]
Somebody's swallowed the Chomsky prattle hook, line and sinker.
As one example, picking a company at random, do you see Ford ads in all newspapers across North America? Does Ford advertise on virtually all television stations?
What would be the primary (I can think of off the top of my head) reason Ford wouldn't use a typical middle of the road media outlet, whether its the New York Times or a weekly community paper in Baldbuttprairie, South Dakota, to advertise its products?
