The word "media" is plural, so are you saying that all US media follow the same ideology?
Do you attack them because they dare to present information or opinions differing from your own, either solely (so biased in that direction) or as well as yours (so at least trying to be balanced)?
If they all presented only reports and opinions that you favour, they would still be biased, but in your favour!
A good test for any genuine news medium is whether it is attacked as "biased" by both sides in any sensitive argument.
If it is then it must be reasonably balanced, having regard to factors such as real difficulty or danger in obtaining information and sifting truth from distortion when using third-party sources.
If it consistently attacked from one side it might be favouring the other.
(I discount most anonymous "news" on "social"-media as simply their authors' views.)

'Anything I disagree with must be propaganda.' Is that a fair way to put your position?

@FreddieUK where do you get that? The mainstream media is committing war crimes daily and lowering your lifespan through the two parties.

They're probably aware that their "public square" and " free press" can't exist without government funding.
They're probably sort of aware that corporations own their means of communicating, without government helping them get a level playing field for the truth.
True they know, but smuggly they allow for the apocalypse and the imprisonment of Julian Assange.

They'd rather stay ignorant.
