I truly believe 2 things.

1. All people are created equal.
2. You cannot eliminate discrimination by creating new discrimination. (DEI)

Not all people are created equal.  That's a fact.  

But I agree with #2.

But that's the reason you have to read more than one source.  No one has a monopoly on the truth, not the New York Times, not Fox News, not News Max.  They all report what they think is important.  

People tend to think that publications that agree with them politically are reporting just the facts, and publications that disagree with them politically are biased.  It's unavoidable.  Bias is unavoidable.  Two people will see the same thing and report a completely different story, because what they see in filtered through what they believe.  It's unavoidable.  It's everywhere.

AI might fix this issue, except that it's algorithms will still be programmed by people with opinions. However, bias can be effectively programmed out, if done objectively.  Human journalists seem to have a harder time with this.

One man's "objective" is another man's "biased."  You have to understand, people report what they see, and what they think is important, and people see things differently, and they don't always think the same things are important.  You will NEVER get bias out of reporting.  It's absolutely impossible.
