I think your comparison is bullshit. Argument is not without merit but you chose a shit example that doesn't make that argument

US corporate media lean in favor of Israel. As Abeer Al-Najjar (New Arab, 7/28/22) noted: “The framing, sourcing, selection of facts, and language choices used to report on Palestine…often reveal systematic biases which distort the Palestinian struggle.”

Maybe this will help.

3 of your examples are not American though, but British. The BBC and The Guardian certainly aren't skimping on reporting facts about genocide in Gaza. This, and the fact that the context of the Gazan story is quite different, is why your argument has merit but this specific comparison isn't particularly fitting.
