Is our news biased?

News -  A friend of another faith told to me that she quit watching the election reporting. Her reason-- it was not objective reporting. Why this struck me so hard was that I also had turned off the reporting because I was stunned to witness the obviously biased reporting. I have been receiving my information from the internet for many years and therefore had not seen TV reporting for several years.

My friend and I both have many decades of being exposed to news reporting. (I'm not saying that we are older, though it is true.) Yes, there has always been the desire to expose the hidden, a crusading zeal, about reporters. I have always admired this quality. I also applauded their attempt to objectively present data. I expected information to be fairly presented to me, leaving me to form my own opinions. I listened to editorials when I wanted to hear, hopefully, informed opinions. 

A lot has changed. Of course, in the 60's and 70's a lot of information was withheld from the general public. Now we are barraged by information.
