Check this for international bias. It's from "The West Australian" newspaper in Western Australia. Apparently the sole major daily serving a state bigger than most countries:

Unbelievable. All they had to do was put a photo and a one sentence blurb in, but they decided Ron Paul shouldn't be seen to exist.
That page is an orgy of Obama/Clinton/McCain stories. I did a search for "Ron Paul". A grand total of eight stories in the last month include that phrase. Not one of them was actually about Ron Paul. He was always just mentioned as an afterthought, to be technically correct on some statement.
Please join me in letting them know what you think about such blatant bias! Scroll down the bottom of this page, and click "Have your say":
