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.

This is what's wrong with politics. The right is just as bad as the left with this mentality (with everything, not just media coverage). Now, instead of demand accountability from their own media sources, when a right wing outlet retracts a statement the right will just excuse it by referring to CNN.

Just look at the way the right excuses everything Trump does and says by pointing to something a democrat has done in the past. Look at Trump's past tweets about Obama playing golf, the money spent on Obama's travel, Trump saying he would never leave DC because of too much work to do, etc.

If people would demand accountability from their side instead of making excuses by pointing to something the other party did, we might be able to get results from our politicians. They would know their supporters will turn on them if they don't toe the line
