Everyone is biased, we have an in built system called inherit bias, made of our life experiences and in some case how we were raised, — and that’s okay. And that is also true form media networks and there’s no such thing as unbiased news, each institution takes a stance and often panders to a certain type of audience.
Just because everyone is biased does not mean it should get a pass, these days logic has become so stifled that most people have become tuned to believe a coherent sentence justifies the actions, despite the lack of cohesion or substance.
