Starting in 2017, what was some what unbiased, became totaly biased.
1. Late night comics. Kimmel was at least approachable in the past, no longer so. Comedy channel goes all in.
2. Award shows. The bias had been incidental, pre 2017, now it’s constant and unwatchable.
3. CNN. They had been priding themselves as an international news resource, with some unbiased coverage, pre 2017. Now it’s all in.
4. Sports. Sports became a political soapbox for players, owners and broadcasters. Not just NFL. Who cares about the politics of Olympic skiers?
But it is working for them. This is how they get ratings, the way Limbaugh got them starting in 1988.
However, mass media that is acceptable to all, where politics don’t matter is rare. It’s a short list.
1. College sports.
2. MLB, possibly NBA.
3. Natural disaster coverage.
4. Internet video memes of children, cats or dogs.
5. Some business coverage, technological breakthroughs.

“What am I missing?”
The NHL?

Nice analysis. You could add space exploration. Unfortunately archeology and medical news are often tainted.
possibly NBA.
I would put money on Lebron raising his fists during the Finals this summer.
He is extremely anti-Trump, and he’s old enough now to be politically aware.
And he’s a sports untouchable right now.
