They never once got a story totally right that I was involved with. That is when I learned not to trust them.

I don't trust them either but my distrust is different from yours. I don't trust them to get the story right because they are careless or superficial or stupid or rushed or unprepared, not because they're biased.

My first hand experience with reporters is the same as yours. After a while I just quit giving interviews because they never got it right. But my interaction with them wasn't on political matters so bias wasn't a factor. That's why I don't assume bias is necessarily at play when a story isn't right. There are too many other ways for them to screw it up. I know that for a fact. If your experience with them is in the political arena, then I understand why you would assume bias but, if they screw up non-political stories just the same, then you may be barking up the wrong variable.
