most large media groups are propaganda tools for their own political side

No, most "large media groups" are not.

I'd welcome an example if you can find a media group that's neutral and factual about everything they cover.

NPR, BBC, Reuters, PBS, C-SPAN. You may have also heard of the Associated Press.

You know what would be REALLY neat? Like it'd absolutely tickle my pickle? For people trying to blandly "both sides" this to provide substantial evidence this is an endemic, inherit problem and that's it not really just one side who consistently misrepresents scientific and civic issues? Because even if you take the claim at face value, there is clearly a very appreciable gap in how these biases are applied and used.

This style of rhetoric and view point is irritating to see and engage with, because it's just cynicism masquerading as wisdom or insight, and it completely stifles constructive progress around these subjects.
