Media coverage of Syria

The Atlantic has an interesting piece regarding how major American newspapers framed the Syria intervention debate. Given that this was a huge topic a few weeks back I wonder what y'all think of this. They claim that all these newspapers are inserting a bias into their narrative whether they realize it or not. I know we've had previous discussions regarding whether journalists should report both sides or if they should seek truth and facts regardless of what way they lean. This piece has a brief overview and excerpts for which I would like to see what y'all thought. Give it a go.
