Everyone is biased, that's the freaking point. "Un biased" media does not exist, it's retoric created to make you think whatever you watch is better than the rest.

If I headline an article "Man dies in police involved shooting" instead of "Unarmed black man murdered by racist pig" both of these are technically factual aren't they? Yet they both have a clear bias.

Let me give you another example I saw recently in a lot of Canadian media: "One arrested at pro-palestinian demonstration" vs "Zionist arrested for assault at pro-palestian protest."... Yet now the same media is headlining "At least two pro-palestinian protestors arrested"... Do you see how all of these are factual, and yet biased?
