Yes, but the problem is many of the right wing media outlets are equally obnoxious with their bias. They are sensationalist in order to make more money. Not many outlets simply report the news anymore. They have to offer their spin or bias.

All media is biased. It's built in, because these companies are run and events are reported on by human beings, and human beings have bias.

Not many try. None do it purely objectively, which is why it's necessary to check multiple sources, verify everything verifiable and draw your own conclusions.
People got used to the idea that "the news" is authoritative. It isn't, particularly when they're drawing conclusions and not simply reporting facts.

I agree. The best for balance news is pbs news hour.

Give me a break- that is far left.
This is the problem with objectivity. Leftists suffer from political perilax; they are so far to the left that EVERYONE else appears to be "conservative", even fellow rabid leftists.
Additionally, liberals have an uncanny ability to be unable to look at a situation from the veiwpoint of another. Thus there is the correct view (their perspective) and everyone else is simply "wrong".
Witness Schumer being unable to understand why most voting Americans (not the fake votes) voted for Trump. He is completely unable to look at anything from the perspective of another. This, of course, is also a symptom of sociopaths.

It's the DNC-run media that dominates. Right-leaning outlets aren't even close.
The overwhelming number of media outlets are a bunch of slobbering, knee-padded, sycophantic toadies who are collectively the propaganda wing of the Democrat Party.

Conservative ideology assumes that the Judeo-Christian Biblical worldview is a constant in society and that everything must fall into place under that umbrella.
You don't have to believe it, but if conservatives really are better at seeing other perspectives, maybe try entertaining some of the following ideas.
1) Maybe Covid is more dangerous than Donald Trump led the country to believe and that 600,000+ really have died from it?
2) Maybe criminal justice is applied unequally in this country and is highly dependent on factors such as race and class?
3) Maybe gay people and trans people are born that way and that no amount of prayer can change it?
4) Maybe the founding fathers really wanted separation of church and state?
5) Maybe a majority of the country just didn't want Donald Trump to be POTUS? Maybe he lost the election fair and square?
6) Maybe 1/6 wasn't a lovefest?
