    What’s more likely?

    That a news outlet appears totally committed to the most objective possible view on any issue ever except for exactly this.

    Or

    Maybe you might be wrong sometimes as humans are not infallible.

      Both are entirely possible, even at once. Also it’s not just “exactly this”, it’s generally a broader range of topics. And, to nitpick a bit, “relatively objectively” is not the same as “totally committed to the most objective possible view”.

      For another example of the former, as the guy below you says, years ago this was the exact modus operandi of (the english version of) Russia Today, until it reoriented and started targeting straight up pro-russian conspiracy nuts. Sputnik I think was always a bit out there, but I’m honestly not sure.
