I'm not so sure you actually watched TV news back then. They typically didn't have 2 stories about the same subject, it was fact based news all the time and they didn't need to run an alternative story.
Of course things like "Trump really won" wouldn't even have been a story, nor vaccines kill you are all the other wild CT these days. Both Democrats and Republicans were fairly fact based in the 60s and 70s.
I guess it could be argued that facts have a liberal bias ever since the enlightenment, but that's using liberal in it's classical meaning. Today's left is most decidedly illiberal, and recognised as such widely.
