    Everybody has a bias. Some just hide or try to remove it more than others. Faux News was built from the ground up explicitly to be the GOP’s propaganda mill, and MSNBC has a clear liberal bias. Ground News at least tells you where the bias leans. There’s been data published on bias - how much and what kind - for ages. The idea of impartial news was only around for a few decades in the 20th century. Now it’s a largely baseless claim. But if you look at news print media from, say, the late 1800s through early 1900s you can see the bias clear as day.
