I think the media are almost always owned and ran by people who either heavily believe that one set of values (and hence, one side of the debate) is right, or are just plain corrupt. I suspect it's because a common motivation for creating a media outlet is wanting to voice your beliefs about how the world should look like (instead of just doing honest reporting/ unbiased debate). Ufortunately, these kinds of media are also far bigger success commercially, because people in general want to read stuff that confirms their worldview (it's easier than reading an unbiased newspaper that shows that their beliefs might be wrong and the world is indeed super complicated). My reaction to this is to stop consuming media. I only try out new titles to see if they are trying to be unbiased.
