We're way past that. A very large segment of our population cannot tell the difference between news media and Breitbart.

Media outlets slant stories, and selectively report.

The level of bias in the Times, Post and most local papers is small enough for the average reader to ignore.

People should read every news story, from every source, with some skepticism.

Yes, but not because of bias. Because the reporter writing it is a generalist who will get things wrong, whether trying to or not. You should read the ones who aren't trying to and it hurts to treat them as equivalent to the ones that are.
