>Mike, that one is a complete no-brainer. Here's a partial list of topics where it's obvious when many of the major media outlets give a free pass:

>- The corruption regarding "ClimateGate"....the European and Japanese press have been very critical (and rightly so) of the U.S. media largely puff-balling this issue.

>- Iran's actions towards the Iraqis and towards American servicemen in the middle east
>
>- Obama's attempts to use $$$ recouped from TARP for a 2nd stimulus - which would violate FEDERAL LAW
>
>- The stern warning from Moody’s Investor Service about U.S. credit rating (driven measurably by their reaction to Obama's bankruptcy budget and his bank tax proposal)

Add these to your list:

http://www.akdart.com/med6.html
http://rhetorica.net/bias.htm
and just one of the many books on it:

If I could give my personal experiences, I would, but sadly I cannot.

(updated)

This is one of my recent favorites on media bias by omission (regarding Mike's own favorite NYTimes):

The only few I could find were by John Tierney or blogs and reader comments.
