"It's been long proven that outrage gets more traction on the internet than positivity...really, it predates the internet; nightly news stories have led with rage bait for decades."

Kiddo, there's been rage bait for as long as there's been anything resembling mass media, if not longer. Let me tell you about Catholic and Protestant pamphleteers in the 16th century.

That's why I subscribe to the Washington Times. Yes, they are a remarkably biased right-wing rag. Still, they make occasional efforts at rational reporting. They have no left-wing editorialists, but they have a few never-Trumpers. I may seldom agree with them, but they echo the opinions of a large slice of the US and I want to hear what they have say.

"Even if there were, which facts were covered and which were not would itself be a form of bias."

Bingo. It is impossible to report *all* the facts, nor is it possible to be informed of all the facts. There are far, far too many facts. This means that any source, and any consumer, of news must choose *which* facts. And when you start choosing, there is bias. Bias is not avoidable.
