Many people on the Left, who are on this forum, regularly say that Fox News is biased, but the MSNBC's and CNN's of the world aren't. I'm regularly asked for examples. Well, today, on MSNBC, they said that President Trump is admitting guilt (in context of the Mueller investigation) almost every day. Does that sound like objective news, or does that sound like bias? Even if you call it hyperbole, that would still be highly inappropriate for an objective news source to say.
Another comment they made in the same show (8/10/18 between 4:30 CT and 5:00 CT on MSNBC) was that Trump's base believes Trump over Mueller (in context of Trump's base believing Trump is innocent). Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mueller has never said Trump is guilty of anything, therefore, Trump's base would not have to believe Trump over Mueller to believe Trump is innocent. These kinds of comments show extreme bias, to the point that they are being misleading. MSNBC may end up being factually inaccurate when all of the facts come out, and if they turn out to be right, it would be by happenstance given that the facts aren't out yet. (They often admit the facts aren't all out yet themselves.) For those that make the argument that MSNBC is an objective news source, sorry to inform you, but you have been severely misled.
