Some people are so naive.
To believe that a media can be neutral/objective is to believe that a human being can be neutral.
Guys, you have a lot, and I mean A LOT of reading ahead to catch up with the intellectual world. You are so 18th century.
If you specifically want to read about the media, of course you can start with Noam Chomsky. It is very interesting to read his experience with the false criticism of the Vietnam war by the New York Times. Very clear, very revealing, breaks many illusions, and totally indisputable.
You should also read books about the power of the unconscious. 90% of the neuronal activity takes place unconsciously, and it shows in the brain scans used to analyze how we make decisions or express/decide our tastes. Books by Freud and his followers of course, for another point of view about power of the unconscious.
Books of sociology about determinism.
Books of sociology about the profession of journalist, their many constraints, how they are recruited and by whom,...
Books about capitalism. Capitalism is not neutral. But most large media act as if capitalism were natural. So many debates are totally framed, and very limited in their scope since they do not take into account how things could be done differently in a non capitalist society.
People who believe any media is neutral should also read as many books as possible about as many issues as possible. The more facts you accumulate about the world, the more you see the mediocrity and lies of most media. Lies usually come in two ways: repeating what governments and corporations have to say about anything without letting people who have different views express them, and lies by omission.
But the most subtle way in which most media make you stupid is by not allowing enough time to be spent to properly expose the complexity and history of most issues. One or two minutes compared to a book that takes twenty hours to read. An article written by a journalist who only had a day to prepare it, compared to an investigative journalist or scientific journalist who spends years or an entire life researching a precise field.
And of course you end up ignorant because too many issues are exposed from the point of view of one specialist when in reality many fields are concerned.
In conclusion: if you really want to inform yourself, read books. Many books that investigate reality and how we perceive it and transform it in our subjective minds.
