New York Times ran it as an exclusive two days ago

CNBC ran it yesterday

And MSN (my main source) seems to be broken right now so I'll give them a pass, but I expect to see something on there about it when it comes back up.

don't use a google search, go to each site's main page, then navigate to that story. Tell me how easy it is to find WITHOUT the search, in other words what the normal site goer might see.

CNN had it on their main page
WSJ had it on their politics page
msnbc didn't have it in their scroll of headlines
CBS was scrolling through the politics page

The NYT which ran it as an exclusive did it on it's Europe page

EUROPE

Exclusive: Alleged Russian Agent Butina Met With U.S. Treasury, Fed Officials

Look at the headline, and tell me if you realize that is meetings with Obama administration officials?

Media bias is in how stories are presented, and the weight they are given. Clearly every ap/reuters stories gets loaded into every news site's listings, but how/where it is run and how much screen time it gets plays a huge part in what I would describe as media bias.
