This is the biggest problem the media faces: The industry can't work to fix its overt bias because far too many in the industry truly believe themselves to be unbiased and nonpartisan.
I can believe they genuinely think they're unbiased.
As @xwanyex has pointed out, they don't believe there's a *legitimate* opposing view. There's no "other side" to present - how can I be biased?
These are all people who, ten minutes ago, were telling everybody to check their privilege and divest themselves of whiteness. And yet, they’ve never questioned themselves to see if they might have biases.
