The media have only one job, and that is to make money. Not be balanced, not be fair, not even to be honest. They need to make money. Some might be willing to lose money to promote an agenda, which is likely to make something else money.
Some forms are not for profit, but someone is certainly paying the bills, and some will always have a point of view that it promotes, which again makes them the opposite of balanced or fair.
The myth of media actually being balanced or fair or honest I don't know ever existed.
