Even the far-left NYT claims to understand the role of a news agency:

‘On Monday, Times publisher A.G. Sulzberger delivered the Reuters Memorial Lecture at Oxford University, with a focus on the importance of independent journalism in a divisive age. He pointed to coverage of the Middle East as a particular flashpoint.

‘”Journalists don’t serve the public by trying to predict history’s judgments, or to steer society to them,” Sulzberger said. “Our job as journalists is firmly rooted in the present: to arm society with the information and context it needs to thoughtfully grapple with issues of the day. The belief that an informed public makes better decisions is perhaps the most hopeful conceit of an independent press.”’

Sounds like A.G. may have noticed his paper is in the shitter and the bias is making it even worse. The MSM must correct their path or risk certain demise.
