I agree with you in part - there is nothing that I have found on cable TV that is not biased one way or the other. I think it's because they are so purely profit driven and all that really matters is viewing numbers. Middle of the road, both sides covered, is nothing if not boring compared to one-sided diatribes.
The cable channels also have become pretty good at blurring the line between "news" and "opinion". Anyone who thinks Rachel Maddow or Tucker Carlson are anything besides opinion/entertainment has taken the bait.
Another example - any channel that is paying more than a passing mention to the current non-story of the missing girlfriend/hiding boyfriend is not worth watching. If you don't know what I am talking about, good for you!
