The formulation that 'you don't need a conspiracy theory to show that the media is biased' seems to me to me to be an attempt to excuse a blatent piece of misdirection. The conspiracy was admitted and well-documented, but I didn't find out about it until about 5 years after reading manufacturing consent. Quite a big one that 6th filter - direct cooption/infiltration by the inteligence services.
At least Jimmy Wales has a bit on it..
