Or is real journalism over?

I find that Rachel Maddow and Sean Hannity are the epitome of journalistic integrity.

No and no. All journalism will have a little bias. But bias coupled with outright falsehoods, unverified sources so long as the harm the "bad guys", and half truths are the problem.
American journalism is terrible. Read newspapers and periodicals from outside the US. Their reporting is light years better.
And never get your news from a television.

Objectivity in news is a farce. Websites like The Intercept and National Review each have an ideological slant but produce good journalism. Its the illusion of objectivity that permeates the MSM which is the biggest threat to journalism.

Some Europen channels carry a show called "No Comment" which shows footage from Europe and the M.E.
It does show gore and death so be warned.

One America News Network is pretty cool. Their news programs are usually presented without any agenda or slant, though their opinion shows at night are right-leaning.

Nope.
Networks are comprised of people.
People are biased.

C-Span?
I mean, they have about 99% zero commentary.
It's just live feeds.

The best answer for getting "real" news is stop watching TV. All TV news sucks in terms of reporting the news.
Read, read some more, then read more. Use your common sense and you will find people that report trustworthy news. Find multiple journalists from multiple sites. Read their work. Then you will get the "real" news.

Journalism has been biased since America was still colonies. The idea that somehow this just happened is, I believe, erroneous.
For a balanced view, read AP articles and /or watch network news. Then watch Fox Special Report and / or listen to Rush Limbaugh. What one will discover is the actual bias is NOT in what the AP / Network News is reporting, but rather in their omissions.
Consider "lead" stories, length of stories and repetition of stories. Consider the omissions ... then draw your own conclusion.

No, and if there was they would have the lowest ratings. People wanna feel comfortable and vindicated, they're going to watch what caters to them. If this board was 50/50 liberal/conservative you'd be seeing as many Fox News hate threads as you see CNN.
