I would think it would be more relevant to prove the "news" is actually free from partisan bias.
If you need direct evidence showing how, precisely, they "mislead" and 'engender specific narratives" I have to say quite frankly, I don't think anyone has that kind of time to expose without veering way off-topic.
Such things are now "common" in media, and go way WAY back in history... "Remember the Maine!" ... "Russia collusion" ... "Hillary Clinton's Kill count," seem ample examples. No one in the media world is exaclty innocent... nor exactly guilty... save precious few.. some of whom are now dead, or otherwise renderd publicly 'inert...'
Whenever some one attibutes an objectionable threatening activity to "everyone" in a group I always consider... "Fake News, anyone?"
True. You can have news and information manipulation on a number of things.
The piece of information I have linked comes from pretty much every source regardless of where they are on the political spectrum. It's not even news, it's an expectable reaction from some troubled individuals.
Most other things you mentioned are true.
