Everybody has bias. But it's hard to measure where that bias leans when you use an all encompassing term that has no limits or strict definition.

The complaint/term is used almost exclusively by conspiracy theorists. Because they have a problem with some established fact (whether it's eventually found to be false or not) they take aim at what basically amounts to the world as a whole. They seem to imply that far right and far left journalists are joined together in some sort of attempt to lie to the public.

It's not a very accurate attack. Going after one half of the political spectrum is conventional and understandable enough. Pretending the entire world of journalism is out to get you makes people look kind of pathetic.
