It is. There is no balance any more - the MSM does not report the facts but makes up the facts.
After they make up the facts the MSM tries (successfully in many cases) to tell us the meaning and how to “feel” about their made up facts.
My father-in-law years ago would yell at Cronkite, calling him a communist and liar. Said the news was mostly lies, we should not believe their propaganda. At the time we thought FIL was losing it, nope he “got it” and was trying to sound the early warning alarm.
