Wish news was like how I heard it used to be. They just matter factly told you what appeared to happen what was said and kept their opinions out of it and let the viewers form their own.

There's a particular irony in you taking what you've heard in that regard as a matter-of-fact statement of what happened that keeps the speaker's opinions out of it.

Virtually without exception, whenever anyone says "X news is objective and unbiased," they actually mean "X news agrees with my biases so I don't notice them." This is true whether you're talking about extant news outlets or nostalgic reminiscence of how news supposedly used to be.
