I read it, it also mention the Grauniad being very critical.
It does beg the question how Bliar dealt with all this. Unfortunately politics isn't just about principles but also "how you look".
The Netherlands, where I originate, doesn't have papers are bad as the SCum. Ever out worst isn't even close. If people go online to the website...they still get the bias :)

It wasn't any good (the media bias 'investigation' post). It left out most of the media, including some of the most popular outlets in the UK. It was just a list of print newspapers, with five of the eight being right wing.
If you do an 'investigation' into media bias against a left wing politician using a short list of mostly right wing outlets then obviously you're going to get that result.
Newspaper circulation figures have gone through the floor in recent years. Do you buy and read one?
Large pinch of salt required, although I'd concede that newspapers still have a disproportionate influence in this country despite their pitiful readerships.
