I will say this. There is no such thing as "unbiased" completely objective news. There does tend to be a liberal bias toward news and information and that is because of the very nature of "liberal thought and ideology". Within "liberal thought and ideology" is the idea that you can get to some kind of truth by reporting facts and information in a sort of dispassionate way. While it is rather naive to think that the information carries with it some sort of implied narrative, the act of trying to be objective is important. Right wingers don't even try. They simply lie about it in order to advance their own agenda. They act like there are two sides, when in fact, there are multiple, multiple sides. "Liberal" journalists actually try to present different sides, but right wingers cry foul if their view point is not offered up as a factual, opposing view point, when it almost always is not factual but only serves to try to advance a false narrative.
I will say this again, as I have said before. Rachel Maddow is an opinion commenter on MSNBC and Tucker Carlson is the same on Fox. Regardless of your opinion of Maddow, you cannot argue that she does not present information with a leftward bias. She has said so explicitly in the past. Both Maddow and Carlson were recently sued for defamation of character and had to mount a defense. Here is the major difference between Fox and MSNBC in their approach to both news AND opinion shows. Carlson's defense against defamation was ultimately, that no reasonable person would find that Carlson's words could be construed as anything more than hyperbole and entertainment. Basically, you can't take as "Serious" anything that Carlson says because he is a known purveyor of bullshit entertainment. He defeated the defamation case on those grounds. Rachel Maddow's defense? EVERYTHING I REPORTED WAS FACTUALLY ACCURATE, THEREFORE, NOT Defamatory. She also defeated the case.
Fox lies, they know they lie, everyone knows and expects them to lie. That is not a news organization. There is a difference between bias, which everyone has, and straight up falsehoods and propaganda, which Fox, and all of its new right wing competitors engage in.
