You will have people seeing red in front of their eyes and turning to violence.
Media is there to catch that violence, because it generates clicks. As far as media being unfair... media, no matter where you read it and no matter how respectable the source is, is there to convey an opinion. It can be presented in whichever way in order to meet the author's agenda. That's why I personally try to read media from as many sources as possible and read things with a grain of salt. I don't treat it as facts, because for the most part media outlets have owners and agendas behind them.

Fine, find the exact opposite and then we will talk. You act as Wikipedia, while has bias, doesn't have sources at the bottom of the article.

he eldest of six children born to Ashraf al-Najjar, she was a resident of Khuzaa, a village near the border with Israel.[1]
The IDF released footage in which she purportedly admitted to participating in the protests as a human shield at the request of Hamas.[6][7] The video was later found to be a clip from an interview with a Lebanese television station that had been edited by the IDF to take al-Najjar's comments out of context.[6] In the unedited video, she didn't mention Hamas and called herself a "rescuing human shield to protect and save the wounded at the front lines", with everything following "human shield" trimmed out of the Israeli clip. The IDF was widely criticized for tampering with the video in order to chip away at her image.[6][7]

A UN investigation, the results of which were published late February 2019, concluded that Israel may have committed war crimes in its response to the Gaza protests, saying that dozens of children, two journalists and three paramedics, including al-Najjar, were killed by Israeli soldiers despite the fact that they were easily identifiable as such and did not pose any threat to the Israelis

So Israel shot her, and edited footage to make her look like a radical. Totally media bias here making Israel look bad? They are factually wrong here. The editing of footage is factual, totally innocent behavior by them?
