I don't know if the bias against intelligent thought is more or less damaging than the bias toward candidates, but only a rube would fail to recognize the reality of both issues. Media will always have it's flaws depending on the system it operates under. Media under Communist and Dictatorial regimes functions as the mouthpiece of the government. In a Capitalist society, media chases the almighty dollar. Truth, objectivity, and honesty always seem to get lost in the wash along the way.
