> I would much prefer to have a media that was less prone to jumping on bandwagons and ignoring any stories that don’t fit the story they are telling. The media should not be in the business of pushing a particular agenda, but ideally would focus on informing the public.

The media is a business. Its primary business model is to obtain revenue by means of advertising. They do this by presenting material that will attract readers/viewers: the content is a means to get you to notice ads, which are their revenue source. You are not a client of the media, you are the product that they deliver to their advertisers. If you want to complain about the media, complain to their sponsors.
