Disagree. IMO media has lots of biases, and they all affect political coverage:

  1. Laziness: Analysis is hard, transcription is easy. Got a divisive topic? Call up representatives from both sides and repeat what they said. Even if one or both sides are provably lying, don’t call them out on it. Let the audience decide. The audience you’re helping them misinform.

in area is also if you are bias on side X of divisive topic, Get someone sane and very intelligent to argue side X and get a nutcase to argue side Y. The result of said debate will make side Y look wrong, stupid and insane and side X look right, intelligent, and sane.
