As the saying goes, Half knowledge is dangerous, news reporting biased reports to the public are dangerous as the half-knowledge of anything.
The public is dependent on the news for knowledge of what's happening in the country. A news source should be unbiased and report the truth to the public. When a news source is biased many people who consume the news cannot know that the news is not fully correct and end up believing that half-truth news. This will cause misunderstanding within the people which can often lead to violence.
Any news reporter should always report the full unbiased news to the people so that there are no misunderstands. They must report what they see and should not alter the reality.
