It's really hard to get a fair look on the left or right when people who make these "documents" are either part of the left or right.
Oh, and FOX is journalism. It's the prime example of what modern journalism is. People want to hear about things, and journalists give them what they want after they've dressed it up in the way that their viewers would want them. And of course, modern journalism is diseased with sensationalism, so you can't help but sprinkle your newscast with obvious right-wing or left-wing bias, depending on the main viewership. Sounds wrong, but true. I'd say, other than FOX, every other media outlet is liberal, though. FOX can get liberal sometimes (many times) ie all the non-FOX News stuff.

They never existed, even 400 years ago. Some papers used to require the journalist to write "writers opinion: blah blah blah" beside the story.
It's always been a will of politics.... weather or not something is reported to help a pollitical agenda... be it Murdoch, or the NY Times, etc. etc. etc.

At least the sports news can't be too wildly misrepresented.
