Bias in Life...

I read an interesting article yesterday about media bias and censorship in the upcoming election. It talked about how the media only chooses certain events to show and how it moulds its coverage to fit their views...

Do we as Christians take parts of the Bible and just ignore it or "interpret" it the way we see fit?
Examples:

1. Do we ignore the fact that God ordered the Israelites to wipe out entire populations? Geonocide? How does this affect our definition of love?
   
2. Read Numbers chp 31
3. What about Salvation? How do works play into it? Should we "work" out our salvation?
   
4. Corinthians is filled with verses dealing with women, have we changed that for a reason?
   
5. Jesus came with a radically different plan, are we really radically different?
6. Is it actually noticable to others? All the time?
