Imagine you read an article: "Christian murders two Muslims by decapitation". That would SURELY be followed by days of stories about how Muslims have been so put upon since 9/11. That isn't true, but would you be surprised that the media portrays that as true? Check out statistics on the FBI website - hate crimes 2001-2011, inclusive are 66.44% against Jews, 12.1% against Muslims.
Anyhow...the aforementioned article never happened. There WAS an article: "Gruesome double murder, men decapitated". The men killed happened to be Coptic Christians and the alleged perpetrator was Muslim. No mention of hate crime. No mention on the national media.
No bias here.

How long will we be allowed to live?
Just read this article from Breitbart: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/04/05/Obama-Budget-to-Target-Success-by-Capping-Retirement-Accounts-at-3-Million
This is the line that I got stuck on: "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per year in retirement, or about $3 million in 2013," the statement said."
Hmmm...I don't know about you, but that effectively says to me that I'm only allowed to live for 15 years after retirement.
"...the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving."
Who gets to say how much money I can save?? Who says it's "substantially more than needed? Why is it ANY of their #$^@#$ business??
