Of course, there are examples of media twisting facts, opinion and logic, but generally they are at least supposed to, in theory, attempt to present matters in a neutral manner and disclose any of their personal biases.
They are suppose to bring news coverage that is not bias but they never do. I think there are more examples of news using stories to click bait and push a agenda than there is them being transparent and showing us the facts in a non bias way. We are in the world of click bait and they use that because they get more clicks and they benefit from that because it translates to more money for them.

Whoaza!!!!!   2019 - a blast from the past.

I don't know how you completely get rid of bias from reporting, but I know that there are a lot of people who have good intentions in terms of their own behavior and attempt to fairly present all sides of matters. 

Sure, they might get jaded (or they might not even know their own biases) or some of their presentations might get squashed by higher ups, and surely one of the new dynamics of on the ground journalism by novices on the interwebs can sometimes keep the BIGGER journalists in check - even though we do have some problems in terms of challenges to the funding of investigatory journalists, but even that is not completely disappearing - but as individual consumers we also have responsibilities to attempt to develop and engage in our own critical thinking about various information that we find, and I doubt that being unbelieving of everything or concluding that everyone is out to get you is going to be very helpful in regards to your employment of your own abilities to sort the better sources of information.
