Journalists were liars and/or political types going back to Vietnam, and; most likely before.

General Sherman had some creative ideas on what to do with journalists. Northern newspapers were the Confederate’s best source of intelligence.

One of the great propagandists in history was not Goebbels but Benjamin Franklin. He took pride in being biased. When he was Secretary of State he fed articles to the British press and forged the byline as legitimate American newspapers.

Anyone believing in an unbiased media is naive to the point of stupidity. They're all liars to some degree. It's human nature.
