Ok I'll believe you if you give specifics. Here we have the WaPo publisher specifically saying he will bias the paper towards libertarianism. What's a similar example on the other side?

On the scale of left|lean-left|center|lean-right|right, AllSides rates Washington Post as lean-left[0]. The Washington Post's last 10 US Presidential endorsements were all Democrats[1]: Biden in 2020, Clinton in 2016, Obama in 2012, Obama in 2008, Kerry in 2004, Gore in 2000, Clinton in 1996, Clinton in 1992, Dukakis in 1988, and Mondale in 1984.

  So there is no evidence of bias directed from up top. How could you tell the difference between journalists calling BS on bad GOP ideas vs some amorphous bias?

    A newspaper exclusively endorses one party over the last several decades and your conclusion is that there is no bias?
