Cornelius is right to claim all news sources (or the ones he cites) have biases. I would argue that all news sources have their perspectives, points of view, orientations; none are free from that.
But when the bias becomes tendentious, it is our job to read the orientation as warping the information. Trump and his followers began on that path with their propaganda and use of the term "fake news."
Somehow we read the news and understand the orientation; don't we give an orientation on the news when we report it to our friends, clucking our tongues or approving?
Anyway, it isn't china that is the real target of the liberal press, but russia. This report on putin and his assassination of his rival prigozhin, is framed by an extraordinary photo straight out of Metropolis, or the anti-fascist movies of the 30s.
With Prigozhin's Death, Putin Projects a Message of Power
The Kremlin appears to be sending the signal that no degree of effectiveness can protect someone from punishment for disloyalty.
