partisan press
One-sided news coverage
Partisan press refers to news media that openly advocates for a particular political party, ideology, or viewpoint rather than striving for neutrality.
The term often describes 19th-century American newspapers that were explicitly aligned with parties: The partisan press era gave way to objectivity as the journalistic ideal.
Today it may describe outlets critics see as biased: Cable news has brought back the partisan press.
