I've said this before but the whole media bias thing is largely a bunch of bunk. The major news outlets still adhere to journalistic standards pretty effectively. The problem is how people have developed an appetite (i.e. addiction) for instant breaking news news combined with massive amounts of cheap fake news/propaganda.
What is bias anyway? If you report on the president obviously lying, are you supposed to give his lie equal footing?
