Only the bad news fit to print.
You've got to stop thinking of these folks as being in the business of providing complete, balanced, objective information. They're not. They're in the entertainment and political propaganda business.
They have an agenda in their political reporting and a particular end they're trying to achieve. Information, to these people, is a malleable, plastic thing, to be manipulated and bent and contorted to fit their desired outcome. Despicable, I know, but that's the reality of the "news" business.

Watch Citizen Kane sometime. This is not a new phenomenon. It's been going on since, well forever, the distortion of information for political ends, I mean. Also note how people who deal with the press all the time treat them with contempt. It's because generally they're a contemptible lot.
Probably the only solution is to try gather information from sources you consider reliable and then think for yourself and make up your own mind.
