Journalists and their editors are human. They are just as susceptible to confirmation bias as anyone, and it's generally the problem with most journalism. Instead of following the facts and the story where it leads, I think there's an internal bias that dictates where a story should go. Whether it's the reporter doing the bias pushing, or their editors, truly independent, fact-based journalism is becoming a myth.
