"entire newsrooms that do nothing but systematically promote right wing ideas without revealing that fact"

Have you heard of Fox News, Newsmax, or OAN?

Fox News and friends pay their staff's own salaries. They aren't hosting entire cohorts of journalists who are paid for entirely by someone else and then presenting their output as neutral and unbiased.

And you'll notice that even despite keeping that basic tenet of journalistic integrity alive, they get attacked for bias constantly. We're told that the AP is a credible news source and Fox isn't, even as AP launders stories written by teams of full time lobbyists.

Read the AP story where they admit to this practice. The journalist writing it clearly feels uncomfortable, knows what they're doing is wrong and knows he's trying to defend the indefensible. Show me where Fox puts itself in the same situation.
