They choose how to spin stories based on biases to the point where they are effectively reporting different "facts".

The other week I posted the below, which are headlines for the same 3 stories on the same day from CNN and Fox, arguably 2 of the biggest "news" sources in the U.S. These headlines are effectively opinions with the aim of gaslighting their respective audience. It's not healthy.

FOX: Trump touts historic stock market jump as Dow tops 'sacred number,'

CNN: Dow tops 30,000 for the first time ever as Biden transition begins

FOX: Biden's pick for national security adviser defended anti-Trump Steele dossier

CNN: 'The team meets this moment:' Biden introduces top admin nominees

FOX: Happy Thanksgiving! State relaxes gathering limits ahead of holiday

CNN: Doctor fights back tears describing single day of heartbreaking losses
