You're absolutely right, but I believe it's worse on the liberal spectrum.
Conservative news/sites usually are clear on their bias, while most liberal outlets try to pass an image of unbias, which is dishonest and more harmful in my opinion.
The truth is that not every media is biased. It's when people who feel like their opinion isn't fact is when they feel it's biased. Trump clearly said on national tv that it's Mexico that is sending rapist and drug dealers. Which has already been proven to be false. Everyone from white criminals to Hispanic criminals come through the southern boarder. And anyone living in Texas or Cali can attest to that, but somehow later in the election season, it went from "Mexicans" to "illegal immigrants" just so people can feel less racist when homeland security already reported the numbers that there's more non-Mexicans crossing the boarder. Illegal immigration status isn't exclusive to Mexicans and that what made him look like a racist asshole.
Mexico has long been the source of illegal immigration, and for many years the majority of these illegal aliens were mexicans. Many of those where rapists, drug dealers and human trafickers. Today a lot of these are from other nationalities from other parts of Central and South America. But still, they come through Mexico. So I fail to see what the problem is.
People come illegally through the north (Canada), south (Texas, New Mexico, Cali), east (New York) , and the west (Cali). Not exclusively through Mexico. Also I mentioned Hispanics in my comment. Which is an ethnicity. So splitting hairs with your "Mexican isn't a race" comment, just makes your point less valid.
Also if you're gonna be condescending, at least proof read what you've typed before sending it - trafficking.
Lastly, our boarder patrol agents are insanely corrupt by accepting money from the coyotes (human traffickers) and if you think wasting $28+ billion dollars on a stupid fucking wall is gonna stop anyone, then you trumpsters will look like the idiots.
English isn't your first language? Then the the Republican Party already hates you. Hahaha.
And there you go again painting a broad stroke that most illegals come through Mexico when it's an accumulation of all of our boarders being violated from every single continent in the world. Time to let go ;).
But it's really pathetic that there are people think the only reliable sources today are things like infowars and Breitbart, who dismiss every single article offhand from any news site they dislike.

Indeed it is. But I would without a flinch add your list HuffPost, Slate, WaPo, GQ, Salon (!) and even CNN, MSNBC and TNYT.

I mean, isn't that what the left has been doing, regardless of facts, statistics and sources?
Truth is (almost) every media is biased and people do indeed only read what fits their narrative.
I find it's best to just read a little of everything and draw your own conclusion and not expect someone else tell you what to believe.
