Definitely, unfortunately the facts are usually scarce and twisted in those hit pieces.

Still far-left in my eyes, but you're not wrong in the general sense, simply because most MSM is far-left nowadays.

What do you consider far left? Mainstream media pushes for larger police budgets, high defense spending, defends billionaires, defends foreign policies that cause death, destruction, and misery all over the world, they are almost never actually critical of politicians and/or what they say in a way that matters. They defend massive corporations that are working against Americans, push fossil fuels (and for adjacent industries, like cars), push against single payer healthcare, and many other policies that are even just slightly left of center.

No part of our mainstream media is even close to far left, basically no major source in the world is.

At best, you might get a left wing opinion article in the NYT or something, but thats still going to be sandwiched between police propaganda and the current week's article on cancel culture.
