Do I think most journalists have ulterior motives? No, I do not. Bias? Absolutely.
Do I think corporate america (including corporations involved in news distribution) wants to maximize profits, just like every other capitalist organization? Absolutely.
I believe every person on the planet has bias, myself included. I don't think unbiased journalism has ever existed. I also think there are demonstrable facts that can be discerned in spite of the bias you may or may not detect from the information source.
