Honest question, is there even an unbiased news source out there?

No. Everyone has bias. Some just wear it on their sleeve.

On television no, print yes.
Reuters is unbiased and I've heard the AP is as well, but not sure about the latter

I did a super unscientific litmus test using the phrase "officer involved shooting" and Reuters passed, AP failed.

If you want some unbiased truth the reason we are in this situation is because of the removal of the fairness doctrine by Reagan.

Fairness doctrine wouldn't do excrement in the age of the internet.

I disagree. 
1.  More people watch the news than you realize
2.  Having outlets you can trust will help show what excrement some sites are putting out on the internet
