No, they are not arbitrary. Opinions cannot be discredited through fact-checking, only things stated as fact.
And if you don't think a website dedicated to media bias and fact-checking can reasonably ascertain media bias with all of their resources, why would you believe that you, with surely far fewer man-hours than their team has, could competently make such assessments? Why should anyone else take your word for who is biased, and who isn't, when you assert that such judgments are arbitrary?
And the reason why focusing on symptoms would not have been viable is the early prevalence of asymptomatic spread.
