Frank Rich is right to raise the specter of managed news and the exposure of what may be propaganda. No Administration should be allowed to get away with it.
The other side of the coin is that all reporters and anchors and editors have biases. I have come to live with that, but large media news organizations must take special care because they have a special privilege under the First Amendment to assure what they deliver to the public is 'fair and balanced. Usually it's not.
Commentary is different from news reporting, but many consumers don't differentiate between them.
I find a good source of information and commentary in The Christian Science Monitor.
