What annoys me is how people treat ideology as the only type of bias. People will accuse a news source of being biased in favor of the left or right and that's it. The reality is that ideology is not even the most interesting or influential type of bias. For example, news organizations heavily favor sensationalism over stories that are important but boring. News organizations will pander, reporting stories that their audience will enjoy rather than what will educate them. There's a "pre existing narrative" bias, for example Al Gore was a dorky know it all so of course he claimed to invent the internet, regardless of reality. Maybe the New York Times or CNN slightly favors the right or the left, but give them a story that is sensational and fits the narrative and they won't shut up about it no matter which ideology it harms.
