The media reports with all kinds of biases, some of which help Trump and some of which don't. You insist on focusing, to the exclusion of everything else, on the political leanings of reporters. Other biases that seem important include the bias towards assuming good faith on the part of sources, the bias in favor of official sources and against investigative reporting, media owners' political biases, and on on. It's like you've been conditioned to repeat GOP grievances instead of thinking for yourself.
And your first sentence is just wrong. Bias is not necessarily intentional.

This board may live in a post-intent world, and on some issues, that seemingly defective approach may, strangely, make sense. This is not one of those instances. Re bias: no intent, no bias. The effect, on which you’re focused, is another question. One strident progressives may school themselves on by googling the “law of unintended consequences.”

I honestly don't understand what you are trying to say, except that you don't have a response to what I keep saying.
