"Journalists are pushing their own viewpoints and no longer being objective" is a complaint that's been with us since as long as there's been journalism, though. The Nixon administration famously toyed with the idea of creating their own news service because they believed the news organizations of the day were biased against them. Hell, the phrase "yellow journalism" goes back to the late 1800s and the often sensationalist New York World, a paper whose publisher declared it as "dedicated to the cause of the people rather than that of purse-potentates." That activist publisher was Joseph Pulitzer. (His battles with equally sensationalist rival publisher Hearst led to the "yellow journalism" charges.)
