Reminder that major news outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox just buy their stories from news agencies like Associated Press and Reuters specifically so they can adjust the stories to their agenda. This is why they are news outlets, not news agencies.

If you legitimately want news just being presented as-is, just go to the source and read it directly from the agency. I personally haven’t seen a slant when reading from either Reuters or AP.

Really, you've never detected slant from Reuters or AP?

I agree that cnn, fox, etc are outlets and not agencies but calling the agencies unbiased is also wrong.

What would be considered slant?
a guide would be good here for defining slant so everyone can go through a checklist and say, yeah that article or news agency's articles are slanted

Literally everyone has a bias. That is all I'm saying. People like to pretend that some groups keep things "objective" but that's not really possible or desirable, what is possible is being biased but staying factual.
