In my opinion, the best news anchor of my lifetime (I'm 44) was Peter Jennings of ABC (he died in 2005). He combined his own personal flare with a matter of fact approach. Whatever commentary he provided was mostly just common sense. I'm sure he had his biases but they were hard to detect. He placed emphasis in the right places and had a smooth delivery. The only opinion of his that was clear was his intense dislike for Barbara Walters.
You're post is accurate but if there was anyone like Jennings today... that's what I would watch.
He was very good - nice assessment. I watch one of the evening news programs with my wife most days - never if she's away. There is either more bias now than with Peter Jennings, or perhaps I'm more opinionated - age does that to you. Frequently the bias I do most notice is in what isn't covered or in how one aspect is skipped in deference to another. Take a school shooting and it's the same format: media fawning and drooling over the kids, any sensationalist camera shots, gun control advocacy, quandary over motive, the parents without a clue, and bashing of enforcement.
Some stories well covered elsewhere never see the light of day in the MSM - apparently offensive to their objectives. There are the obligatory police shootings of black people, of course, leaving the impression that nobody else is ever shot by the police and that the ones who are were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
The airlines are having their turn in the barrel over creature comfort - maybe preempted if Amtrak screws it up bad enough. But all's good on the southern border unless Trump has a comment about security, and obviously security isn't a problem if they aren't reporting problems there. See the news is easily directed if you control what is covered ... and how.
The other very notable aspect is with the WH press corps (who would be better as corpses if they'd just be considerate). They may not have fawned over Obama, but they are positively hostile and arrogant with regards to anything Trump. You can see the disdain in their faces and the questioning is downright hostile. If I were Trump, I'd close them down, turn the lights off, lock the press room door, and relieve the fools of their passes and credentials.
