Since they're not, that expectation isn't reasonable.
More important, even if they're not distorting what they're showing, they're choosing what to show, and that distorts.
> I also expect journalists to at least try to properly inform their audience.
Good for you. However, that's not how they actually behave.
And no, this is not specific to Fox or NBC. It's universal. Every source has a point of view.
> You know the saying: with great power comes great responsibility.
Nice saying, but it's a hope, one that isn't actually true. Great power does not imply anything more than great power. It doesn't, for example, imply truthfulness.
