Even in the UK where they have a legal requirement to be "fair and balanced" (especially true for the BBC due to its royal charter), there are massive liberal leanings in the news.
The various media outlets in the US and UK claim that their news is non-biased, but admit they do editorial programing as well.
Well, if your idea of "fair and balanced" is "supports my point of view", then - especially in your case - the mainstream media is all biased - against you (as-if you didn't think you were persecuted enough already! - Poor white man!)
As for "editorial bias" - I think my comment about their always being some bias in the decisions on what to air, vs what not to air... you can't escape that! There is only so much air time!
If your claim is that the mainstream (broadcast, not so much cable) media has always had some bias, that's probably true (whether liberal or conservative might be up for debate, if you look back)... but if your claim is that the mainstream media is no more biased now than it ever was... well, then you just never paid attention more than 10 years ago!

"Fair and balanced" doesn't have to ALWAYS support my worldview, BUT when it never, ever supports my worldview on any topic that shows extreme bias.

For you, or the news organization?

No one can ALWAYS be at odds with the news 100% of the time without extreme bias on the part of the news media.
Even ultra-left Debra Messing is calling out the liberal media for their extreme downplaying of the Waukesha terror attack.
Liberal media has semi-red-pilled Russell Brand.
