As far as news, information that people vote on. Who owns the news is a topic many should read about. According to my reading, yes, every article has the bias of the writer and or the source-that is the problem. In any case what I've read was that in the 1960s
there were four major owners of news. Today, it is five. Of the five four have a left wing bias.
Fair news? For most of us it is news that agrees with our bias.

Carrying it one step further...laws in this country must be CONSTITUTIONAL; in this particular case meaning that the right of free speech is a right of not only individuals but to privately-owned businesses (media) as well. The law can no more tell media what it can and cannot say than it can tell you what you can and cannot say, both of course subject to applicable law (you can't yell "FIRE" in a crowded theater, to use a well-worn example).
Don't like what you are reading and hearing? You have the right of free speech, as have we all. But none of us has the right not to be offended.
