Answer 7

Newspapers have no feelings on any subject whatsoever.

That being said, the writers and editors of those newspapers might have opinions one way or another on any given subject. The art of Journalism is to set aside those prejudicial feelings and seek only the truth. Unfortunately, it is hard to find good Journalists. Most seem to interlace their news with commentary and opinion.

Answer 10

Of course.

Answer 11

First, they tend to concentrate on the bad things or the really good things. They all have a political orientation, some are Labor, others are Liberal.

They concentrate on local, rather than national.

Answer 12

Yes, because newspaper journalists are trying to appeal to the mainstream population.  Their information is not peer reviewed or has undergone any sort of scientific validity or reliability tests.

Statistics can be manipulated.

Answer 13

despite the fact that they all say they aren't, all of them are, it's because of who owns and runs the papers, but someone who runs a newspaper and is for the war in iraq isn't going to let abunch of antiwar articles in the paper he runs, so to answer your question, yes, i believe they all are, at least all the ones i have seen

Answer 14

Newsmedia in any format are supposed to be biased, simply because each of them has its own stance and interpretation of information, and such bias is the result of a series of political and social reasons, while sometimes it is more about a strategic position in the media industry.

Yet we cannot simply say they over-exaggerate or misinterpret a news info. The reason why 10 journalists sitting in the same room hearing the same piece of information can come up 10 different news report in different style is that they need to re-write the story in a way in-line with respective media's stance, or we can call it "framing".

Since there are preconditions and/or empirical knowledge determining the way to frame a story, you can find that media are always consistent on handling a particular issue, and no matter you agree or not, they will follow the same steps to move on producing news report day after day until they are closed or a new boss who buys the media but shares a totally different view and looking to change it asap.

Answer 15

The tabloids usually have either a political bias, or a standard set of opinions to pander to readers.

Broadsheets usually tend to have more subtle bias.

An example would be The Sun newspaper, which is anti -Europe & anti - government, hence the constant headlines of 'Loony Labour' or 'Barmy Brussels' etc.

It's like authors - certain people like certain authors, so they'll always read their books - newspapers need to retain the same viewpoint & style of reporting to retain readers.
