Ben Bradlee was one of Kennedy’s best friends. Much was covered up or downplayed in the coverage of him. Nixon was just the opposite in both papers.
CNN was more centrist before sold off, but always leaned more left than right.
The bias has always been there if nothing more than in the choice of coverage. I do agree that all news has let much more opinion slip in under the guise of hard news. Some have been worse than others. The Journal isn’t one of the big offenders there.
But the myth of truly objective news is just that.
