Exactly my grip with CNN and others news channel trying the 'middle ground' like BBC. I'd rather watch media with declared bias like Fox News than CNN/BBC where the bias is only visible in subject choices and editors/presentators are afraid to get wet. Upside : that's allow for a quick U-turn.
By the way, I know an independent journalist: the version you get on TV is often the editor's cut. Sometimes journalists are only reporters, but more often than not there is censorship (or self-censorship for non independent journalists) in the editor's room. That's why report from the same journalist can be used by 'liberal news' and ' conservative news' (not idea if that happens in the US, but in my country it does.)
Honestly, you'll be better served with local newspapers. Or independent local news.
