Does anyone else get a sense that some news presenters dont like a particular political party - either through the way they interview members of that party or the way they discuss items about that party through for example , newspaper reviews

Every one is of course entitled to support the party of their choice and have their own political views ( and long may that remain )
However I was under the impression that news presenters were supposed to be totally unbiased

They are supposed to be impartial, thats true.
I cant say I can think offhand about any specific incidence of bias on their part though.
Sometimes a bit of bias seems to show through, but I feel that this depends much on the listener. The BBC, for example, have been accused of being pro-Conservative and have also been accused of favouring the former Labour Party. In the Middle East they were accused of favouring the Western point of view. At the same time, British military personnel accused them of favouring the other side.
