But how true is this bias really, and is it really as big as some make it out to be.
My personal thoughts on media bias is that I do believe it is real, however I feel like it is exaggerated to a certain degree. Media bias is an over used phrase that people use for any news source they disagree with.

Very few unbiased sites or organizations exist, if you manage to find one then pat yourself on the back and enjoy it until it inevitably becomes biased too.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.

sigh
i agree that every outlet has its own biases
but saying "how biased is the media" encourages people to think if it as a singular entity-and because the phrase specifically used is bias, it limits the ability of people to think beyond baseline political bias as an example
hell, even talking about suspected "political bias" can obscure lenses of analysis, because outlets taken to be on one "side" can still advance the agenda of the other, even if they don't believe they're doing so (and i'm not just talking about CNN getting duped into airing a staged migrant crossing)
the framing of the debate is bad
