In the Philadelphia Inquirer on April 12, 2008 it reported on Riyadh al-Nouri, a top aide of anti-American leader Muqtada al-Sadr, was assassinated after returning to his office after a prayer service. The article is pretty straight-forward without having that much of an opinion. It is bias on a subtle level, though, as the author seems to comment on how America is just making the situation worse and raising Shiite tension. The author does not specifically blame us, but lets the officials and Iraqis he quotes does. Thus, they do the job for him.
The other report I saw was on the opposite side of the spectrum. Fox News reported on a civilian casualties dying in the green zone, where it was supposed to be safe. Instead of just reporting on it, the Fox reporters seemed to just make excuses and that this was a fluke thing and all was well and it is very safe in the green zone.
