That's not really possible though and it shouldn't be attempted. Even the decision about what to report (there is a finite amount of air time after all) can indicate bias and can be used to skew or promote an agenda. The best you can hope for is to understand the particular viewpoint and perspective that the news you are consuming comes from.

The news I see like NBC never have any biases unless I never noticed it.

Just checked the link again and it's perfectly fine. I call BS. Plus, from your source:CNN's total audience in prime time was well under a million viewers--767,000--while competitors MSNBC and Fox News finished the month far ahead: MSNBC in second place overall with 1.660 million total viewers, and Fox News leading all of cable with a total audience of 2.395 million.
767k + 1.660m = 2.427m > 2.395m. What I said.
In other news, your guy still lost the popular vote by 3m, no one has read the Mueller report 'cause it's still redacted and the administration is stonewalling its release and the release of its supporting material, and it ain't over until the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee says it is.

That being said, there are a few high-quality conservative sources- Christian science monitor, National review, etc. They're just excluded from the mainstream.

It's good to know someone else knows how to find the source of the reporting, which is what I was going to suggest.Alanis Star wrote:My favorite site is still Reuters.

In short, everybody and everything has a bias. We all have our own perceptual filters that determine what we're looking for.
Bias isn't limited to one political party versus another, and there aren't exactly two answers to every question.It's good to know someone else knows how to find the source of the reporting, which is what I was going to suggest.Alanis Star wrote:My favorite site is still Reuters.

I'd also suggest one concerned about biases learn how to separate opinions from facts in reporting.

Funny story about how I found Reuters: Back in 2010 I got myself a Windows Phone 7 device, and it came with a month or two subscription of Reuters news. They would send me snippets of news articles with links through SMS, and the rest is history.

Oh, there are also high quality liberal sources- The Atlantic is the example that comes most immediately to mind. That was simply irrelevant to my point.
