Look, all reporting bears some imprint left by the people that report it. Selection of stories, choice of people to interview, questions asked, and so on. Good reporters work to minimize this; they research and check facts; good editors call 'em on it when they fail to, and send them back to mill to grind more finely. And honest media outlets label opinion as opinion when they present it.
Not all outlets are honest. Sometimes they're lying to themselves. Sometimes they're trying to pick winners and losers instead of just reporting who won or lost. And sometimes, they're lying to you.
These guys do their best to sort 'em out. It's a big job and they don't always keep up, but they don't stop trying.
Which direction do your news sources lean? Do you know? Are you sure? Find out.
