Actually it is pretty hard to write anything without your own biases creeping in, so it is not always deliberate.
You used to (40-50 years ago) be able to get a pretty neutral idea of the news by reading the city's competing daily newspapers and comparing them to each other, but those have pretty much disappeared.
I use to listen to Radio Havana and Radio America, and figured the truth was someplace in between the two on the international front. Now I almost never listen to or read the news. That helps with the ulcers.

factual news for years.

Interesting point: in german media (and german speaking switzerland) opinions are marked as "commentary" or "Opinion" in most newspapers or newsmagazines.
