One of my favorite sites to compare editor's front page selections is Newseum's Today's Front Pages which gathers images (and PDFs) of front pages from 251 papers in 36 countries. I try to visit it daily and have a look around.
And - for the most part - I agree with you about NC Times being San Diego's best paper. The Union Tribune has put some ridiculous stories on its front pages.
I don't know if it's bias so much as it's laziness --- which I have long believed is the source of all the accusations of "bias" in the media. Easy stories tend to be biased, and lazy reporters tend to write them.
As a matter of record, you'll notice a certain North County paper did NOT cover the protests (or other, low-attendance Peace and Justice events), despite receiveing a ton of press releases about it --- and that's really the key: the coalition is easy-access, it takes no work to talk to them. It's a 10 minute story.
As an aside, I take issue with this "The North County Times" is the best newspaper in San Diego County --- frankly I'm offended.
