Like a “Hive Mind”, the majority of major media outlets (specifically in America), promote the same points of view and re-worded information in effort to sway the population.
In America specifically, all large media outlets have a blatant left-leaning view, and often cooperate with each other to form a central agenda of presenting progressive ideas as positive, and conservative ideas as discriminatory.
Many signs of bias are not specifically in the wording of news topics, but in the tone and presentation of them. When questioned about their stories and coverage, they will deny withholding information, and use each other as sources to show their “trustworthiness”.

Ex: *Riot at the capital*
“Man, the Media Hive is really pushing this whole idea of it being a coup... even though if it was an ACTUAL coup, there would have been a lot more deaths and a massive firefight, but since all people hear is “coup” from every source, they will start to believe it and see Republicans as national enemies.”
Ex: “The Hive Media is undeniably existent if you look at who owns what. “Alphabet” is the parent company to Apple and Google, which both cooperate with Facebook in “antitrust actions”. And if you didn’t know, Facebook owns Instagram, WhatsApp, Oculus, and other smaller projects. This all basically means that the majority of the internet is influenced by a handful of people that all decide what media sources you see. If you don’t get how search results work; whoever pays the most to these companies get the top spots on searches, so media companies that have large amounts of viewers (money) will indefinitely stay in a position of power over the population.”

Get the Mainstream Media mug.When the printing press was invented, word of mouth was the old media and newspapers were the new media.
When television was invented, newspapers were the old media and the 6:00 news was the new media.
Currently newspapers, tv news etc. is the old media and the internet is the new media.

Get the Media Studies mug.A common form of worldwide brainwashing which influences weak-willed people across the globe and is committed to spreading propoganda and fake news. Whether they’re left-wing or right-wing, the rats in charge of these organizations are cowards who simply yearn to watch the world burn in order to make a quick buck.
Never trust them.

CNN: “I’M OFFENDED, HOW DARE YOU SPEAK YOUR OPINION.”
FOX NEWS: “IT’S NOT MAKING ME ENOUGH MONEY, SO IT HAS TO GO.”
Sane Individual: “Take all mainstream media gossip with a grain of salt and think for yourself. Always speak your mind (in an appropriate setting), and make a living doing what you love, —but remain humble and don’t be greedy.”

Get the populist media mug."Legacy media" is politi-speak that political conservatives use to identify long-standing ("mature") media outlets (such as the TV news networks - ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc., and the major print news services - New York Times, The Washington Post, The Los Angeles Times., etc.) Typically, these ostensibly "left-wing" news outlets are critical of conservative political agendas. Why the conservative wordsmiths use "legacy media" instead of "liberal media" is a mystery. Perhaps they feel that the term "liberal media" has been kicked around too long and needs replacement.

"Many in the legacy media love mass shootings (because of the TV ratings they garner)."
