The major newspaper I subscribe to will run an op-ed or political cartoon that doesn't favor republicans. The next day the letters-to-the editor will be full of comments from republicans complaining and/or democrats agreeing.

A few days later they will run an op-ed or political cartoon that doesn't favor the democrats. The next day the letters-to-the-editor will be full of comments from democrats complaining and/or republicans agreeing.

Now, notice I didn't say the op-eds or cartoons were biased one way or the other. They may have been right on the money, but it just wasn't what one side or the other wanted to hear. Go figure..LOL
