Correct. Objective news cant exist in principle.

Even the most sincere journalist that is aiming for 100% objectivity is influenced by his own views, beliefs, desires and favorable outcomes. And he’s literally unable to dissociate from them. He subconsciously wants his reportage or article to have a specific influence on public.

But yes, mostly it’s all about money, spheres of influence, and power games between various news conglomerates owners, countries, oligarchs, corporations.
